Import Tips

Verify yarn composition is 100% man-made fibers like polyester or nylon via lab tests to avoid reclassification to cotton or wool headings

Provide weave structure documentation proving flat-woven, non-pile construction, as pile rugs shift to 5702.51

Note 'not made up' status; if hemmed or fringed for retail, it moves to 5702.50.9020, increasing duties
