Import Tips
• Verify coating thickness and material composition via lab testing to confirm rubber/plastics coverage meets HTS criteria
• Include detailed invoices specifying 'cut and sewn from pre-existing machine-woven impregnated fabric' to avoid reclassification
• Avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling as knitted (Chapter 61) by providing weave structure documentation
