Import Tips
• ASTM F1292 impact attenuation test reports mandatory for playground turf; non-compliance results in CBP holds
• Label as 'safety surfacing turf' not padding to avoid underlay exclusion under Chapter notes
• Separate infill materials in shipments—turf only; bundled sets may trigger set classification rules
