Import Tips
• Provide dyeing and weaving process affidavits; artificial dyes can trigger additional chemical import scrutiny
• Label with precise dimensions and weight to match 'made up' criteria and prevent reclassification
• Avoid bundling with underlays, as Chapter 57 excludes floor covering underlays which fall elsewhere
