Import Tips

• Verify fabric weight certification below 650 g/m² with lab test reports to avoid reclassification to higher weight subheadings

• Include machine-specific technical specs and end-use declaration to confirm papermaking application per Chapter 59 Note 8

• Ensure documentation proves endless or linking device construction; bulk rolls without fittings may shift to 5911.90
