Import Tips
• Verify exact weight per m² with lab testing to confirm 70-150 g/m² range and avoid reclassification to lighter/heavier subheadings
• Provide mill test certificates showing man-made filament composition to prevent disputes over natural fiber blends
• Ensure no visible plastic coating to the naked eye; otherwise, it shifts to Chapter 39 plastics headings
