Import Tips

• Verify that the felt backing is needleloom felt or nonwovens, as the tariff item specifically requires this base

• Ensure the vinyl coating is visible and not just a thin layer, per Chapter 59 Note 2

• Check if the rugs are considered 'made up' under Section Note 7, which could affect classification
