Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify the PVC coating is visible to the naked eye and not merely for reinforcement to avoid reclassification to Chapter 39

• Provide lab test reports confirming cotton fiber content exceeds 50% and PVC as the coating material

• Declare weight per square meter accurately, as exclusions apply to certain rigid or fully embedded products
