Import Tips
• Declare exact dimensions; runners over certain lengths may trigger different made-up article considerations
• Conduct fiber burn tests if challenged on polyamide content to confirm synthetic classification
• Avoid bundling with underlays; separate importation prevents Chapter exclusion issues
