Import Tips
• Obtain third-party certification for filament diameter/tex and overall weight to defend against CBP audits
• Specify 'open weave' in docs with pore size data, preventing errors to non-woven glass wool headings
• Declare as bulk rolls only; retail-packaged rolls risk reclassification as finished articles
