Import Tips
• Classify based on weave, not visual style; lab analysis confirms pile vs flat for 5702.42 vs 5702.31
• Declare exact sqm weight; heavy constructions (>665 g/m2 implied) fit this subhead but watch quotas
• Pair with proper packing lists specifying roll lengths to avoid 'not made up' downgrades
