Import Tips
• Obtain manufacturer's certification on impregnation type to distinguish from plain plastic-coated nonwovens in 5603.12
• Ensure documentation shows end-use as wipes, not apparel, to prevent misclassification
• Test for visible coating; if naked-eye plastics dominate, expect shift to Chapter 39 per notes
