Import Tips
• Verify fiber content exceeds 85% man-made textiles via lab tests to confirm classification and avoid reclassification to wool blends
• Include detailed invoices specifying 'woven pile construction, not tufted' to distinguish from Chapter 57 tufted goods
• Ensure rugs are 'made up' (finished with binding) as unfinished rolls may shift to other subheadings
