Import Tips
• Verify PVC polymer content exceeds 95% by weight per subheading note (a)(1) with lab testing certificates to avoid reclassification
• Include installation specs and ASTM F710 compliance docs; common pitfall is missing flame spread certification for commercial use
• Declare tile thickness and backing type accurately; self-adhesive variants may require separate adhesive disclosure
