Import Tips
• Verify PVC polymer content exceeds 95% by weight via lab testing to confirm classification under vinyl chloride polymers per subheading note (a)
• Provide detailed technical specs including thickness, wear layer, and backing material; common pitfall is misclassifying as wall coverings (3925.90)
• Ensure tiles meet fire ratings and VOC standards for U.S. commercial use; retain mill test reports for CBP review
