Import Tips
• Submit filter performance specs and coating analysis to avoid reclassification as Chapter 84 filter assemblies
• Certify grammage ≤25 g/m² via independent lab; common pitfall is bulk packaging exceeding weight limits
• Declare activated carbon content separately if >10% to comply with environmental import regs
