Import Tips
• Include engineering specs and test reports for permeability and strength to support nonwoven classification over plastics
• Ensure no UV stabilizers or coatings are visible, as they could invoke heading 5604 or Chapter 39
• Ship in rolls, not cut panels, to avoid classification as Chapter 59 technical textiles
