Import Tips
• Verify tile dimensions do not exceed 1m² via certified measurements to avoid reclassification to larger carpet codes
• Provide lab tests confirming felt construction (non-tufted/flocked) and wool content for fiber quota compliance
• Label as 'textile floor covering tiles' to distinguish from underlays, preventing Chapter 57 exclusion issues
