Import Tips
• Label as 'floor covering' not 'prayer mat' to align with HTS definition; descriptive terms aid classification
• Provide assembly details if handmade; fully made-up status prevents parts classification
• Watch for cultural import sensitivities; additional USDA permits may apply for raw wool elements
