Import Tips
• Verify mechanical bonding process documentation to distinguish from chemically bonded fabrics under 7019.59
• Provide lab certification for fiber composition and coloring agents to avoid misclassification as uncolored (7019.69.50)
• Ensure invoicing specifies end-use as reinforcement mat to prevent shifts to textile headings if resembling woven fabrics
