Import Tips

Verify the PVC content exceeds 95% by weight of the polymer per subheading note (a)(1) to avoid reclassification; obtain lab tests for fiber backing composition

Ensure declaration matches 'wall coverings' per note 9 to chapter 39, avoiding floor covering mislabeling

Check for anti-dumping duties on certain PVC products from Asia
