Import Tips
• Label as 'floor runner' not 'rope mat' to prevent reclassification; include size specs showing elongated shape
• Obtain phytosanitary certificates for coir to address potential quarantine issues from coconut origin countries
• Avoid bulk packaging that mimics underlays, which are excluded from Chapter 57
