Import Tips
• Document end-use as upholstery if specialized treatments apply, but classify based on fabric construction primarily
• Require affidavits confirming no metal thread content, as Chapter 58 includes but specifies for other headings
• Avoid bulk packaging misclassification; retail-wrapped bolts stay in fabric headings
