Import Tips
• Provide density and thickness specs to distinguish from nonwovens; felt must meet cohesion enhancement per chapter note
• Avoid common error of declaring as rubber-laminated if used for gaskets—shifts to Chapter 40
• For industrial end-use, include buyer letters; retail vs bulk doesn't alter heading but affects quotas
