Import Tips
• Include printing process details to prove paper backing integrity; inks must not penetrate to alter cork composition
• Use HTS-specific invoices noting 'paper-reinforced cork wallcovering' to prevent undervaluation disputes
• Comply with CPSIA labeling if marketed for children's rooms, despite not being toys (Chapter 95 excluded)
