Import Tips
• Provide fiber content labels specifying man-made textiles to comply with Chapter 57 requirements and avoid reclassification
• Document intended end-use as landscaping to differentiate from industrial matting under other chapters
• Check for perforations or drainage features, ensuring they don't alter the primary textile classification
