Import Tips
• Conduct grammage tests to confirm ≤170 g/m²; discrepancies often lead to reclassification to heavier subheadings
• Label as 'dyed woven fabric' with percentage; importers overlook polyester verification causing penalties
• For apparel end-use, ensure no confusion with knitted fabrics requiring Chapter 60 declarations
