Import Tips
• Submit fiber cross-section diagrams to prove nonwoven status and bicomponent bonding method
• For filtration end-use, pair with EPA filter efficiency data but declare as fabric, not finished filter
• Monitor import quotas if from certain countries; nonwovens may have textile visa requirements
