Import Tips
• 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
