Import Tips
• Test for polyurethane coating visibility with naked eye to stay in Chapter 56; invisible coatings go to yarn headings
• Avoid bulk packaging that suggests industrial non-floor use, which could reclassify to general 5603.94.9090
• Certify flame retardancy if marketed for commercial flooring to meet import safety standards
