Import Tips
• Ensure documentation specifies plain weave and silk waste content if applicable to meet 'other' non-jacquard criteria
• Comply with textile visa requirements for originating countries; common pitfall is incorrect weight declarations
• Use HTS verification tools for statistical suffixes like .40 to match exact fabric specs
