Import Tips

Verify exact weight per square meter with lab testing to confirm 25-70 g/m² range and avoid reclassification to lighter or heavier nonwovens

Provide mill certificates detailing filament composition and production method (e.g

spunbond) for customs valuation and origin claims

Watch for inadvertent plastic coatings visible to the naked eye, which could shift to Chapter 39 if covering both sides
