Import Tips
• Verify weight per m² exceeds 1.492 kg and man-made fibers predominate via lab testing for accurate classification
• Provide detailed material composition certificates to avoid reclassification to lighter textile headings
• Ensure invoices specify 'combined with textile' to prevent customs disputes on plastic vs. textile primacy
