Import Tips
• Certify automotive-grade compliance with specs like FMVSS if applicable, but classify based on fiber properties not end-use
• Document absence of colorants to stay in 'not colored' subheading; even tinting triggers 7019.40
• Watch for set shipments with resins, which may classify as composites under 7019.59 if bonded together
