Import Tips
• Provide airflow resistance and particle capture efficiency certifications to support automotive end-use claims
• Ensure documentation distinguishes media from assembled filters (HTS 8421) to prevent duty escalation
• Test for exact weight post-coating, as added plastics could push over 70 g/m² into 5603.93.00
