• Weight: If the rug is knitted or crocheted, determine the weight per square meter.
• Certifications: Depending on the end-use and import regulations, you may need certifications related to fiber content, flammability, or chemical content.
• Single Invoice: If you are importing multiple types of bathroom rugs, ensure each type is clearly identified on the invoice and assigned the correct HS code.
• Post April 2, 2025 Tariffs: Be aware of the upcoming tariff changes on April 2, 2025, and factor them into your cost calculations.
