Import Tips
• Submit technical specs showing tuft height and density to prove it's tufted textile turf, not plastic sheeting
• Ensure no underlay padding is included, as Chapter 57 excludes floor covering underlays
• Label as 'for rooftop or green roof applications' to support classification context
