Import Tips
• Include fiber content declaration (nylon/polyamide percentage) on invoices; misdeclared materials lead to reclassification and penalties
• Document roll width over 6 feet to affirm turf status vs. narrow rugs; bulk packaging helps avoid retail set confusions
• Test for heavy metals in dyes per EPA guidelines; residential turf often scrutinized for child/pet safety compliance
