Import Tips
• Declare exact dimensions and weight; oversized rugs may face additional freight scrutiny at customs
• Use invoices specifying 'pile construction' to match tariff; pitfall is vague 'rug' descriptions leading to audits
• Comply with flammability standards for floor coverings if destined for US retail
