Import Tips
• Include seam strength test data; weak links may be viewed as non-fitted, risking 5911.90 reclassification
• Specify machine position (press/dryer) in entry docs to match Note 8 technical use definition
• Watch for weight variance from batt fiber density; dry weight basis required for customs
