Import Tips
• Use professional appraisal for high-value rugs to support declared value and prevent undervaluation disputes
• Ensure no latex backing if claiming pure textile; backings can shift classification to composites
• Document eco-friendly dyes if marketed as such, as unsubstantiated claims lead to FTC scrutiny post-import
