Import Tips
• Label products clearly as 'asbestos-free' and provide material safety data sheets (MSDS) for customs clearance
• Confirm sheet thickness and corrugation specs match HTS description to avoid reclassification as flat boards
• Beware of common pitfalls like mislabeling fiber blends, which could trigger Chapter 56 exclusions for coated fabrics
