Import Tips & Compliance

• Include care symbol certifications (e.g

• ASTM standards) in documentation to support compliance claims

• Declare exact width and composition; widths over 30cm may shift to fabric headings

• Avoid common pitfall of loose packaging—ship in protective rolls to prevent damage and reclassification queries
