Import Tips & Compliance

• Distinguish toppers from full mattresses via thickness/weight on entry docs; toppers still classify as mattresses if bedding-designed

• Provide lab tests for gel content to confirm cellular plastic nature, avoiding chemical additive disputes

• Use HTSUS advisory rulings for hybrid foam/gel products to preempt reclassification risks
