Import Tips
• Declare exact R-value and density (e.g
• 2.5-3 pcf) on invoices; discrepancies lead to valuation disputes
• Avoid common pitfall of importing pre-cut lengths over standard rolls, which could be seen as 'articles' under 6812
• Use ISPM-15 compliant pallets for shipping to prevent quarantine issues at U.S. ports
