Import Tips
• Document fiber content (e.g
• 100% polyester) via invoices and mill certificates to confirm synthetic felt classification
• Avoid common pitfalls by ensuring no flocking or tufting processes, as this would move to HTS 5702 or 5703
• Package as individual tiles for retail to prevent classification as 'made up' larger coverings under other subheadings
