Import Tips
• Verify material composition (foam vs. fabric) to avoid misclassification under 9603.40.20 for fabric rollers
• Include product specs and usage demos in documentation to confirm it's for paint application, not industrial
• Label as 'for household painting' to prevent shifts to machinery parts in Chapter 84
