Import Tips
• Verify fiber content is predominantly wool or fine animal hair via lab testing to confirm classification under 5603.94.10.10 and avoid reclassification to synthetic nonwovens
• Provide invoices specifying use as floor covering underlay and weight >150 g/m²; declare as non-impregnated to prevent shifts to Chapter 39/40
