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
