Import Tips
• Verify exact weight per square meter with lab testing to confirm 70-150 g/m² range and avoid reclassification
• Provide mill test certificates showing man-made filament composition to prevent disputes over textile vs plastic content
• Declare if impregnated or coated; visible coatings may shift to Chapter 39 if fully embedded
