Import Tips
• Include coating specifications showing plastics/rubber impregnation before weaving/cutting to validate 6216.00.17 classification
• Avoid common error of classifying as 6116 if any knitting is involved; confirm fully woven construction via fabric analysis
• Label fiber content accurately; cotton must predominate for vegetable fiber subheading, or it shifts to 6216.00.41
