Import Tips
• Test for bitumen impregnation levels; exceeding surface coating thresholds may reclassify under 4411.94.50
• Declare exact density range on commercial invoice to avoid misclassification to lower or higher density subheadings
• Comply with building code certifications (e.g
• ASTM standards) for U.S. market entry
