Import Tips
• Verify fiber content is 100% man-made (e.g
• polyester) via lab tests to avoid reclassification to cotton or wool headings
• Provide invoices specifying 'woven, not tufted, flat weave' to distinguish from pile or tufted carpets under 5702.10-5702.50
• Include country-of-origin certificates, as hand-woven styles like Kelem may qualify for different rates if misdeclared
