Import Tips
• Test for electrical nonconductivity per ASTM standards; conductive variants exclude from this heading
• Bundle with tire manufacturer end-use letters to support 'tire cord' claim against bulk fabric challenges
• Watch for minimum weave density—loose weaves may classify as 7019.59.85 other fabrics
