Import Tips
• Label as 'floor covering' not 'bath mat' in invoices to match HTS; bathroom use doesn't exclude from Chapter 57
• Test absorbency claims with documentation if marketing affects perceived end-use
• Avoid combining with rubber backing, as that excludes underlays and may reclassify to Chapter 40
