Import Tips
• Include production process documentation showing flocking application to support chenille classification
• Ensure invoice specifies 'flock chenille' to prevent confusion with rubber-coated yarns in Chapter 40
• Test for visible impregnation; if coating not seen by naked eye, may shift to Chapter 55
