Import Tips
• Specify 'runner' dimensions in entry docs; long narrow rugs sometimes misclassified as fabrics under Chapter 59
• Conduct dye fastness tests; importers face returns for bleeding colors on high-end wool rugs
• Use ISF filings 24 hours pre-vessel for timely clearance of cultural imports
