Import Tips

• Verify weight per square meter (25-70 g/m²) and impregnation type via lab testing to confirm classification under 5603.12.0010

• Provide mill test certificates showing man-made filament composition and non-plastic/rubber coating for customs clearance

• Avoid misclassification as leather substitutes under Chapter 41 by documenting textile nonwoven base
