Import Tips
• Conduct fiber content analysis to confirm man-made backing; blends under 95% pure polymer may reclassify per note (a)(4)
• Declare width/length accurately; exceeding note limits for free rates under other headings could apply
• Watch for set sales with adhesives/tools, potentially classifying as composite goods under GRI 3
