Import Tips

• Verify cotton content exceeds 85% via lab tests for accurate classification under 5702.50.5600 and avoid reclassification to synthetic blends

• Provide weave structure documentation (e.g

• plain or twill) to confirm non-pile construction and prevent misfiling under pile rugs in 5702.31

• Since not made up, ensure invoices specify 'in the piece' to dodge duties for finished rugs; watch for customs valuing based on potential retail size
