Import Tips
• Provide foam certification (e.g
• CertiPUR-US) to prove compliance with safety standards like VOC emissions
• Declare exact thickness and ILD (indentation load deflection) ratings on entry docs for proper statistical reporting
• Avoid pitfalls by distinguishing from 'pillows'—ensure product is sized and marketed as a full mattress
