Import Tips

Verify weight per square meter via lab testing to confirm ≤185 g/m² for this subheading; exceeding it shifts to other 7019 categories

Provide mill certificates showing mechanical bonding (not chemical) and coloring process to avoid misclassification as woven fabrics in 7019.40

Ensure documentation distinguishes from glass wool per Chapter Note definitions to prevent reclassification to 6806 for non-compliant mineral wools
