Import Tips
• Submit technical data sheets proving 9-11 micron range and RFL treatment; test for electrical nonconductivity if challenged
• Avoid pitfall of declaring as general fiberglass without tire cord specifics, risking higher duties elsewhere
• Use FDA-equivalent specs if for vehicle tires in regulated markets
