Import Tips & Compliance

Verify bitumen content exceeds 50% by weight to confirm classification under Chapter 68, avoiding shifts to Chapter 69 for ceramic tiles

Provide lab test reports certifying fire resistance ratings (e.g

Class A) as required for U.S. building code compliance

Label products clearly with wind resistance specs (e.g

130 mph) to prevent customs holds on misleading descriptions
