Import Tips & Compliance

Include spectral analysis proving no coloring agents; white pigments can disqualify 'not colored' status

Specify end-use in documentation but avoid functional claims that might push to Chapter 94 (lighting fittings)

Check for openness factor >30% to confirm 'open woven' vs. tight weaves in other subheadings
