Import Tips
• Submit weave construction specs (warp/filling picks, yarn numbers) to confirm duck status, avoiding exclusion as cheesecloth or printcloth
• Ensure customs declaration matches invoice fiber blend; discrepancies lead to audits for Chapter 55 eligibility
• Label rolls with HTS code and origin for quick clearance; bulk shipments often face weight verification delays
