Import Tips & Compliance
• Submit technical specs proving end-use as nonwoven substrate, not finished headliner, to avoid Chapter 59 classification
• Declare grammage accurately; inconsistencies lead to audits and duty adjustments
• Check for rubber bonding; if plastics/rubber is the primary binder, it may move to excluded categories
