Import Tips

• Verify the primary material composition via lab testing to confirm 'other materials' status and avoid reclassification to textile headings

• Include detailed invoices specifying internal filling (e.g

• latex density) and dimensions, as these affect valuation and duty

• Beware of common pitfalls like mislabeling as 'spring' mattresses if no coils are present, leading to audits
