Import Tips
• Document the coating process and backing type; felt backings must be confirmed as qualifying textile per Chapter 59 notes
• Test for phthalate content in vinyl coating to comply with consumer safety regulations like CPSIA
• Bundle with underlay documentation if sold as set to avoid separate classification
