Import Tips
• Document the paper backing thickness and cork purity to differentiate from floor coverings or unbacked sheets
• Label products clearly as 'wallcoverings' to avoid reclassification as building materials under Chapter 68
• Check for formaldehyde content in adhesives used for backing, as it may trigger EPA import alerts
