Import Tips & Compliance

Verify PVC composition meets 'other plastics' criteria; provide lab tests showing predominant vinyl chloride monomer (>95% per subheading notes)

Include installation instructions and pattern specifications in documentation to avoid misclassification as floor coverings

Check for restricted phthalate plasticizers in PVC; common pitfall is failing REACH-like compliance for consumer wall products
