Import Tips
• Conduct fiber content analysis to exclude cotton blends over 50%, which would shift to 5701.90.10
• Declare exact dimensions and knot type in entry docs to prevent confusion with woven runners under 5702
• Avoid bulk packaging without retail intent, as it may classify as unfinished under 5705.00
