Import Tips
• Include recycling certifications and fiber analysis to support 'felt of textile materials' claim under Chapter 57 notes
• Measure and declare exact dimensions per tile to comply with the 0.3 m² maximum surface area restriction
• Beware of underlay misclassification; emphasize 'exposed surface' use in product descriptions and samples
