Import Tips
• Include recycling certification and fiber content analysis to support nonwoven claim and eco-preferences in some markets
• Ensure no rubber backing is visible to naked eye, as that triggers Chapter 40 classification
• Declare exact GSM (grams per square meter) on commercial invoice; discrepancies lead to audits
