Import Tips
• > Ensure the rug panel is truly "not made up" (e.g
• unfinished edges) to qualify for this tariff item; if hemmed or otherwise finished, it may fall under a different classification
• Declare the fibre content accurately (wool or fine animal hair) and be prepared to provide a certificate of origin if claiming preferential tariff treatment under a free trade agreement
• Verify whether the goods are subject to any import restrictions or permits under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) if fine animal hair is from a protected species
