Import Tips
• Verify yarn construction meets chenille definition (core yarn wrapped with pile-forming yarns) to avoid reclassification under basic yarn headings
• Provide lab test reports confirming no metallic content to distinguish from HTS 5605
• Declare exact fiber composition on commercial invoice to comply with textile quota regulations
