Import Tips

• Verify weave type is true Wilton (Jacard-woven pile) via lab testing to confirm classification; improper documentation can lead to reclassification

• Include detailed fiber content labels (e.g

• 100% polypropylene) and country-of-origin certificates, as man-made materials require precise composition proof

• Measure exact dimensions pre-import; rugs over 13.25 sqm may shift to other subheadings, triggering audits
