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
