Import Tips & Compliance

Provide mill certificates showing acrylic content and production method (needleloom/stitch-bonded) for customs clearance

Avoid common error of declaring as 'nonwoven' without specifying felt structure, which could lead to 5603 misclassification

For bulk imports, segregate from any coated variants to prevent commingling and reclassification under Chapter 39/40
