Import Tips
• Document impregnation as 'other material' beyond plastics with supplier specs to prevent Chapter 39 misclassification
• Ensure GSM certification under 25 g/m²; common pitfall is overweight shipments reclassified to higher duty subheadings
• Comply with REACH/EPA for cleaning wipers if chemical-impregnated, including SDS documentation
