Import Tips & Compliance

Document end-use as table protection with photos to prevent confusion with floor mats under Chapter 57

Ensure no impregnation with pesticides, as 6304.20 covers coated warp knits, not plain table linen

For sets sold together, classify as one entry but note individual vs set for valuation
