Import Tips
• Verify the base fabric is pre-existing machine-woven man-made fiber and confirm plastic/rubber coating coverage meets HTS specifications to avoid reclassification
• Include lab test reports certifying rubber/plastics impregnation and ensure documentation shows no fourchettes for proper subheading placement
• Monitor man-made fiber restraints (631 category) and obtain necessary textile import licenses or visas from suppliers
