Import Tips
• Conduct material composition tests; woven textiles with plastic layer count as plastics if visible (Chapter Note 3(a))
• Avoid common pitfall of undervaluing; provide audited invoices to stay within $3-$6.50 bracket
• Declare if any metal reinforcements, but they don't affect upper material determination
