Import Tips
• Verify exact weight per square meter through lab testing as it determines the subheading within Chapter 56
• Include detailed specifications on filament type and nonwoven process in commercial invoices to avoid reclassification
• Watch for visible plastic coatings; if covering both sides and naked-eye visible, it shifts to Chapter 39
