Import Tips
• Include engineering specs and end-use declarations to prevent reclassification as lower-duty filters
• Ensure documentation shows filament construction (not staple fibers) to stay in 'of filaments' subheading
• Test for any rubber/plastic lamination; if for reinforcement only, it may go to Chapter 40
