Import Tips
• Verify fabric is nonwoven man-made fibers (e.g
• Tyvek from HDPE) via lab testing for Chapter 62 classification
• Include safety data sheets and PPE certifications; common pitfall is misclassifying as rubber-coated (5906)
• Label for industrial use only to avoid retail garment scrutiny
