Import Tips
• Classify based on predominant use; apparel lining stays in Chapter 54 unless garment-constructed (Chapter 62)
• Watch for misdeclaration as lower-count fabric—precise thread count testing prevents duty underpayment penalties
• Document 'different colors' with colorfastness and dye lot certificates
