Import Tips
• Document end-use as trim (not full garment) with buyer contracts; test for flammability if for apparel per U.S. standards
• Avoid pitfalls by confirming no woven fringes, which would move to 5808 per chapter notes
• Use commercial invoices specifying 'chenille woven fabric' to match HTS description precisely
