Import Tips
• Specify 'green roof' end-use in commercial invoices but emphasize textile pile exposure to stay in Chapter 57; avoid construction material descriptions
• Provide load-bearing and fire resistance certifications; rooftop applications trigger stricter building code compliance checks at entry
