Import Tips

• Verify the yarn and backing are both man-made textile materials to confirm classification under 5703.31.00; natural fiber blends may shift to other subheadings

• Provide lab test reports certifying UV resistance and pile height if marketed as durable outdoor turf to avoid reclassification as a toy or novelty item

• Label products clearly as 'artificial turf' and include installation instructions to demonstrate floor covering intent and prevent misclassification as landscaping material
