Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm 100% man-made materials like nylon or polyester, avoiding reclassification to wool blends
• Provide weave certificates proving non-tufted construction; common pitfall is mislabeling machine-knotted as tufted
• Label as 'made up' with finished edges and ensure no underlay padding to stay within Chapter 57 scope
