Import Tips
• Specify end-use as lining on commercial invoices to aid classification, though HTS is primarily material-based
• Test for twist levels (<472 turns/meter) to qualify as flat fabric per statistical note (b)
• Avoid bundling with finished garments; loose fabric prevents Chapter 62 reclassification
