Import Tips
• Conduct weave analysis to confirm jacquard (figure weave via dobby/jacquard mechanism) as non-jacquard may shift to 5208.49.60
• Document yarn count per Chapter 52 (total single yarns per cm²) and multi-color verification to prevent duty disputes
• Avoid bulk packaging misdeclared as retail sets; declare as greige or finished fabric only
