Import Tips

• Verify exact weight per square meter with lab testing to confirm classification within 25-70 g/m² range and avoid reclassification to lighter or heavier subheadings

• Provide detailed composition certificates showing polyolefin content over 85% to distinguish from coated products potentially shifting to Chapter 39

• Ensure nonwovens are not fully embedded or coated on both sides with plastics visible to the naked eye to prevent exclusion from Chapter 56
