Import Tips & Compliance

• Ensure lace patterns are formed by cutouts or embossing, not printing, to stay in 4823 per chapter exclusions

• Include lab tests showing paper or cellulose wadding composition to prevent misclassification as plastic lace

• Avoid bulk rolls; products must be cut to size or shape for this heading
