Import Tips
• Verify fiber content through lab testing to confirm classification under 'other textile materials' and avoid misclassification as synthetic pile under 5702
• Include detailed invoices specifying tufting method and excluding any rubber backing to prevent reclassification as a composite good
• Ensure labeling complies with FTC standards for fiber content if for retail sale in the US
