Is there any chance of getting non-American Chemex-style coffee filters?

I'm trying my best to cut myself off from American dependencies, but I'm running out of Chemex filters and I can't seem to find any high quality third party offerings at all.

I want to use it in a (six cup) Chemex, and I'm looking for the same thick paper quality as what is in the official filters. Just not from an American company. Does anybody have any idea?

The metal filters let all the oils and stuff through into the cup, so if you're looking for the same profile you get from paper filters you might be disappointed. Not to say it makes bad coffee! Just different

Though, that makes me wonder, maybe you can put a paper V60 filter into the metal filter to get similar filtration and not have to worry about the thinner paper breaking
