Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify fiber composition via lab testing to confirm it qualifies as felt under Chapter 56, avoiding misclassification as woven fabrics
• Provide detailed manufacturing process documentation proving needleloom bonding to distinguish from nonwovens in 5603
• Watch for incidental coatings; if visible plastics exceed naked eye test, it shifts to Chapter 39 or 40
