Import Tips
• Verify exact weight per m² with lab testing to confirm >150 g/m² classification and avoid misclassification to lighter nonwovens
• Provide mill certificates detailing filament composition and any coatings to customs for smooth clearance
• Watch for visible plastic coatings; if fully embedded or both sides coated visibly, it shifts to Chapter 39
