Import Tips
• Provide grammage test reports from accredited labs; customs may sample to confirm 70-150 g/m² for correct subheading
• Label as 'nonwoven' with fiber content; automotive buyers often require REACH compliance for EU-origin materials
• Avoid bulk packaging that mimics parts; declare as fabric to prevent shift to automotive parts headings
