Import Tips

Provide cross-sectional images or samples to demonstrate the chenille pile structure during customs review

Declare exact fiber content and yarn construction to prevent reclassification as basic pile fabrics under 5801

Check for flock chenille variants, ensuring no rubber/plastics bonding that could shift to 5604
