Import Tips
• Document plain weave vs. twill/duck structure to confirm 'other woven fabrics' status under 5514.43.00.90
• Avoid common pitfall of declaring weight inaccurately; use certified scales for gsm verification
• For apparel end-use, note that fabric import remains 5514 but finished garments shift to Chapter 62
