Import Tips
• Submit end-use certification from processor for papermakers' felts to secure release from customs custody
• Test for 12% moisture, 1.5% alcohol-soluble, and ≤0.5% ash to confirm clean yield eligibility
• Report any waste/byproducts separately, as duties apply only on diversion from special uses
