Import Tips
• Test and declare exact g/m²; veils near 0 g/m² risk undervaluation claims but must meet minimum fabric integrity
• Specify 'for composite surfacing' end-use to guide classification away from insulation wools
• Avoid absorbent coatings per Chapter Note (c), as they could reclassify under reflective glass sheets
