Import Tips
• Submit commercial invoices detailing weave type (e.g
• taffeta) and color variations to prevent reclassification
• Ensure no selvage affects weave determination; measure excluding selvage as per statistical notes
• Avoid bulk packaging pitfalls by declaring retail-ready rolls; use proper HTS for sets if upholstery kits
