Import Tips
• Conduct fiber content analysis to ensure <85% single fiber type, keeping it in 'other' vs specific fiber subheadings
• Include commercial invoices specifying 'sheeting 613' and construction details to match statistical note requirements
• Avoid bulk packaging over 100m rolls; CBP often audits for retail vs industrial end-use misdeclaration
