Import Tips
• Include end-use statements specifying 'screen printing stencils' to differentiate from general textile meshes during CBP review
• Check for proper invoicing of thread count (e.g
• 150 mesh) as evidence of stenciling suitability and technical classification
• Avoid common pitfalls by ensuring no plastic impregnation, which could reclassify to 5903; test if needed
