Import Tips

Verify fiber content through lab testing to confirm 'other textile materials' excluding cotton, as wool blends may shift classification

Provide weave structure documentation to distinguish from tufted/flocked under Chapter 57 exclusions

Avoid common pitfalls like misclassifying as made-up rugs (5702.50), which changes duty rates
