Import Tips
• Document sisal as primary material; blends under 36.5% cotton may still qualify here but require fiber content declaration
• Include invoice details specifying 'made up for retail' with hemmed edges to prevent downgrade to unfinished goods
• Avoid marketing as underlay or padding to stay within Chapter 57 scope
