Import Tips & Compliance

Verify outer shell fiber content exceeds 666g/m² threshold via lab testing to confirm 9404.90.96.22 classification

Include detailed stuffing material declaration; polyester fill is common but must match invoice descriptions

Avoid common pitfall of mislabeling as 'cellular rubber' if no foam core, preventing reclassification to other subheadings
