Import Tips
• Document stitch-bonding process with production specs to prove cohesion via web fibers, avoiding nonwoven misclass to 5603
• Ensure no rubber coating is applied, as that triggers 5602 exclusion to Chapter 40 if visible
• Label fiber composition accurately; blends over certain thresholds may require Chapter 59 classification
