Import Tips
• Verify exact weight per square meter via lab testing to confirm >170 g/m² classification and avoid reclassification to lighter subheadings
• Provide mill test certificates proving ≥85% synthetic filament content and printed finish for smooth customs clearance
• Label rolls with country of origin, fiber content, and weight to prevent common pitfalls like undervaluation penalties
