Import Tips
• Use calibrated micrometers for diameter certification; variances as small as 0.5 microns can reclassify to 7019.40
• Avoid common pitfall of incomplete impregnation details—provide RFL chemical analysis to confirm non-rubberized status
• For large rolls, specify weaving pattern and bonding method in invoices to match subheading requirements
