Import Tips
• Specify automotive end-use in import docs; flammability test reports (FMVSS) often required for clearance
• Document thermal bonding vs. needlepunching to distinguish from 5603.92 spunbonded materials
• Avoid bulk packaging misclassification; declare as roll goods, not made-ups (Chapter 63)
