Import Tips
• Include technical specs confirming mechanical needling/stitching, not chemical binders, to stay in 7019.69
• Declare color as integral dye, not surface coating, to avoid reclassification under worked glass notes
• Watch for battery set imports; individual mats remain here, but assembled batteries may fall under Chapter 85
