Import Tips
• Label rolls with certification number, origin, and specs (weight, weave) for CBP verification at entry
• Avoid common pitfalls like improper desizing affecting weight measurement; use boiling method per U.S. notes
• Pair with correct country-of-origin declaration, as non-WTO sources face stricter Chapter 52 quota limits
