Import Tips
• Declare exact weight per square meter; over 170g/m² is common for upholstery but doesn't affect this subheading
• Include invoices specifying weave type (twill) and staple fiber composition to prevent reclassification
• Watch for anti-dumping duties on certain polyester fabrics from Asia; check current orders
