Import Tips

• Document end-use as backing material if queried, but classify based on fabric state as imported per HTS rules

• Test average yarn number using US note (a) formulas to confirm sheeting specs and avoid disputes

• Bundle with composite product docs if imported as part of flooring, but declare fabric separately if in rolls
