Import Tips & Compliance

Declare specific tire application in entry docs; misdeclaration as general fabric risks reclassification to higher-duty provisions

Retain supplier specs showing electrical nonconductivity test results; required for proving 'electrically nonconductive' status

Avoid combining with rubber components in shipment; shipped as standalone fabric to maintain glass fiber heading classification
