Import Tips

• Provide fiber blend analysis (>50% textile fibers) to prevent Chapter 39 reclassification if plastic-heavy

• Declare grammage precisely; upholstery backings often border 150 g/m² threshold

• For fire-retardant versions, include treatment certification without altering base classification
