Import Tips
• Verify yarn composition is primarily polypropylene or other man-made fibers via lab tests to confirm classification under 5703
• Provide detailed manufacturing process documentation proving tufting method to avoid misclassification as woven carpets in 5702
• Label products clearly as 'tufted' and include fiber content to comply with FTC textile rules and prevent customs holds
