Import Tips
• Retain production records proving lamination method bonds layers without full embedding, per 5906 definition
• Test for manual bendability around 7mm cylinder to differentiate from rigid chapter 39 products
• Avoid bulk packaging that could imply industrial parts; specify end-use as apparel fabric
