Import Tips & Compliance

β€’ Verify weave type and material composition via lab testing to confirm classification under 'other textile materials' and avoid reclassification to 6306.12

β€’ Include detailed invoices specifying UV resistance and weight per square meter, as these impact duty rates and customs valuation

β€’ Ensure compliance with REACH or EPA regulations for plasticizers if imported from Asia; common pitfall is missing flammability certifications for US sales
