Import Tips
• Provide mill certificates confirming mechanical bonding method and plain weave structure to prevent disputes at customs
• Label shipments clearly as 'not colored' and include weave density specs to match subheading requirements
• Watch for contamination with dyes during production, a frequent issue reclassifying to colored glass fiber fabrics
