Import Tips
• Include dyeing process details if colored; vegetable dyes keep it in Chapter 46, but synthetics may not
• Avoid combining with metal frames, as that could reclassify under heading 8302 for base metal fittings
• Use ISF filings early for handicraft origins to preempt country-of-origin disputes
