Import Tips

Verify exact weight per square meter with lab testing as classification hinges on 70-150 g/m² range; provide certificates of analysis

Declare fiber composition accurately (e.g

100% polypropylene) to avoid reclassification under Chapter 39 for plastic-heavy materials

Ensure nonwovens are not fully coated or embedded in plastics, as that shifts to headings in Chapters 39 or 40 per chapter notes
