Import Tips
• Document hydroentanglement as mechanical process with process flow diagrams for CBP review
• Test for lead content if crystal-like; though irrelevant here, avoids confusion with 7013 lead crystal notes
• Avoid bulk packing without separators to prevent fiber matting, which could lead to damage claims
