Import Tips

• Verify the coating is visible to the naked eye and not fully embedding the nonwoven to avoid reclassification to Chapter 39

• Provide lab test reports confirming weight between 70-150 g/m² and man-made filament composition for customs clearance

• Label as 'imitation suede' only if it meets the specific impregnation criteria to match this statistical suffix
