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
