Import Tips
• Verify the backing is at least 20% by weight man-made fibers (e.g
• polyester) via lab testing to confirm classification under 3918.90.2000
• Include detailed invoices specifying plastic type, backing material composition, and textile certification to avoid reclassification to floor coverings
