Import Tips
• Document braiding/weaving process photos to substantiate classification against flat mat alternatives
• Avoid retail packaging with non-textile underlays, as chapter excludes floor covering underlays
• Check for country-specific coir import restrictions due to pest concerns and prepare quarantine certificates
