Import Tips
• Verify PVC content exceeds 95% of polymer weight per subheading note (a)(1) to avoid reclassification to other vinyl subheadings
• Provide lab test reports confirming backing is woven man-made fibers like polyester; non-woven may shift to 3918.10.32.20
• Ensure documentation distinguishes from floor coverings (3926) by specifying wall/ceiling use to prevent CBP misclassification
