Import Tips
• Include manufacturer's certification of saturation levels (ASTM D226 Type I/II) to substantiate roofing classification
• Declare roll weight and dimensions accurately; discrepancies often trigger reclassification to Chapter 59 textile fabrics
• Ensure packaging prevents self-adhesion during transit to avoid damage claims and facilitate customs inspection
