Import Tips
• Label rolls with exact fiber content and clean yield calculations per US notes to facilitate customs verification
• Avoid common pitfalls by declaring as 'other' woven fabric, not jacquard, to prevent misclassification
• Bond for special uses if wool qualifies, but note restrictions don't typically apply to blended luxury fabrics
