Import Tips
• Include grammage certificates to prove weight over 150 g/m², preventing misclassification to lighter nonwovens
• Declare exact lamination material; if rubber-dominant, it may require Chapter 40 classification
• Avoid common pitfall of importing as sets with plastics—declare as standalone fabric to stay in Chapter 56
