Import Tips
• Submit static load limit and slip resistance test results; common issue is under-declaring wear layer gauge
• For EU/Asia origins, prepare REACH/SVHC declarations for PVC fillers to speed clearance
• Avoid bulk packing without separators; tiles prone to edge chipping requires protective packaging proof
