Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify weave type and material composition via lab testing to confirm classification under 'other textile materials' and avoid reclassification to 6306.12
• Include detailed invoices specifying UV resistance and weight per square meter, as these impact duty rates and customs valuation
• Ensure compliance with REACH or EPA regulations for plasticizers if imported from Asia; common pitfall is missing flammability certifications for US sales
