Import Tips
• Include Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) test reports from accredited labs for valuation support
• Declare exact density (e.g
• 3 lb/ft³) as customs may scrutinize for industrial vs. architectural use
• Avoid shipping with mounting hardware to prevent set classification under different chapters
