Import Tips
• Document mechanical bonding process (loom weaving) vs. chemical lay-up to stay in 7019; coated meshes often go to 7019.40 or Chapter 56
• Test for weight uniformity; variations can trigger reclassification if average exceeds 250 g/m²
• Avoid declaring as 'scrim' if sold in rolls >30 cm wide, as it fits woven fabric perfectly
