Import Tips
• Submit detailed technical specs showing linseed oil >50% and textile backing to distinguish from synthetic vinyl
• Ensure rolls meet width requirements (typically >45cm) and are marked with country of origin and material content
• Watch for undervaluation penalties; use transaction value based on arm's-length pricing for bulk rolls
