Import Tips
• Verify foam density and ILD (indentation load deflection) certifications to ensure classification as cellular plastics, avoiding reclassification as stuffed goods
• Include detailed material composition invoices specifying polyurethane foam content to comply with CBP bedding regulations
• Label products with country of origin and fiber content if covered, preventing common pitfalls like flammability standard violations
