Import Tips
• Provide weave diagrams or manufacturer specs proving Brussels loop pile to differentiate from tufted goods, a common CBP challenge
• Ensure 'made up' status with bound edges; unbound rolls risk classification as unfinished under 5702.90
• Test for flame retardancy if for commercial use; U.S. standards may require additional certifications beyond tariff compliance
