Import Tips

• Verify the fabric meets the plain weave and mechanical bonding criteria with lab testing to avoid reclassification to woven fabrics under 7019.59

• Provide detailed coating composition documentation as 'laminated' affects duty rates; common pitfall is misdeclaring resin type

• Ensure color is integral to the fiber or coating, not surface-printed, to qualify under 'colored' subheading
