Import Tips
• Clearly state the fabric's non-square construction and absence of napping in the import documentation to avoid misclassification
• Ensure the fabric is not considered a 'made up' article under Section XI Note 7
• Keep records of the fabric's filament content by weight to substantiate the 85% threshold
