Import Tips
• 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
