Import Tips
• Conduct fiber content analysis to ensure classification as 'other' felt, not specific material headings
• Avoid common pitfall of declaring as nonwoven without proving felt characteristics like needleloom process
• For bulk shipments, segregate from any coated rolls to prevent co-mingling classification issues
