Import Tips
• Include technical datasheets specifying mechanical bonding and filament specs to differentiate from chemically bonded or woven products
• Check for country-of-origin rules as many such mats are from Asia; ensure compliance with US content labeling if blended
• Avoid common pitfall of declaring as 'felt' which could misroute to 5602; emphasize glass fiber composition
