Import Tips
• Verify the fabric width exceeds 30 cm to avoid classification under narrow woven fabrics in heading 5806
• Provide lab test reports confirming cotton fiber content over 50% and chenille yarn configuration on one side only
• Ensure no impregnation or coating that would shift to Chapter 59; declare as unfinished greige goods if applicable
