Import Tips
• Obtain FIFA or ASTM certification copies for customs to validate sports turf claims and prevent shift to 9506
• Declare infill materials separately if not integral; loose rubber crumbs import under different codes
• Ensure shock pad underlays are not included, as chapter excludes floor covering underlays
