Import Tips
• Certify UV resistance and material specs, as synthetic fibers must not mimic natural ones to stay in 'other textiles'
• Avoid bulk packaging that suggests industrial use; retail-ready units reinforce floor covering status
• Watch for origin rules—PP yarn from certain countries may qualify for duty preferences with proper certificates
