Import Tips
• Verify exact weight per m² with lab testing to confirm >150 g/m² classification and avoid reclassification to lighter subheadings
• Provide mill certificates showing man-made filament composition (e.g
• polypropylene) to prevent disputes over fiber content
• Ensure no visible full-side coating with plastics; if present and naked-eye visible, it may shift to Chapter 39
