Import Tips

• Verify exact weight per m² with lab testing to confirm 70-150 g/m² range and avoid reclassification to 5603.92 or 5603.94

• Provide mill test reports showing fiber composition and minimal impregnation to distinguish from plastic-coated products under Chapter 39

• Ensure documentation specifies end-use as filter media, not assembled filters, to prevent shifts to heading 8421
