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
