Import Tips
• Conduct fiber analysis to confirm sisal predominance, preventing reclassification as man-made if synthetics exceed limits
• Label shipments clearly as 'pile construction, not made up' to match hierarchy and avoid higher duties
• Check for underlay components; pure underlays exclude from this chapter
