Import Tips
• Provide technical specs confirming no visible plastic coating per Chapter 56 note to avoid Chapter 39
• Declare as 'nonwoven fabric for battery separators' with grammage certification for accurate heading
• Watch for REACH compliance if destined for EU; misdeclared weight leads to duty adjustments
