Import Tips
• Verify the base fabric is pre-existing machine-woven cotton coated with rubber/plastics to confirm 6216.00.21.10 classification; provide lab tests for coating composition
• Include certificates of origin and fiber content labels showing cotton restraint applicability; watch quota limits under 331
• Avoid misclassification as knitted gloves (Chapter 61); ensure no fourchettes and document sewing from impregnated fabric
