Import Tips
• Include technical specs sheet confirming selvage-to-selvage width under 77 cm and warp density via microscope count
• Label as 'for necktie manufacture only' to prevent reclassification; ensure no retail packaging that suggests finished apparel
• Check for fugitive dyes in printing process per subheading notes; bleaching or colored yarn treatments must align with definitions
