Import Tips
• Ensure the rug is declared as a tufted textile floor covering of man-made fibres under tariff item 5703.39.10
• Verify the acrylic content and that the textile surface is exposed, as this determines classification
• Keep records of the manufacturing process (hand-hooked) in case CBSA requests verification
