Import Tips
• Submit permeability and tensile strength tests to support geotextile claims without triggering end-use reclassification
• Avoid bulk packaging that mimics parts; declare as fabric rolls for retail/industrial sale
• Certify fiber content >50% textile if any minor impregnation to stay out of Chapter 39
