Import Tips

Label fiber content accurately; Berber wool often blends with synthetics, risking reclassification if under 50% wool

Include flammability test reports if marketed for commercial spaces to meet US safety standards

Declare value per square meter correctly; undervaluation is a common audit trigger for handmade rugs
