Import Tips
• Verify PVC polymer content exceeds 95% per subheading note (a)(1) to avoid reclassification; provide lab tests confirming textile backing composition
• Ensure Note 9 compliance by documenting surface-covering intent, not mere decoration
• Watch for undervaluation pitfalls on bulk rolls exceeding 38.1cm width
