Import Tips
• Include detailed weave diagrams and yarn specifications in documentation to prove chenille construction and cotton dominance
• Label rolls clearly with HTS code and width measurements; avoid common errors like classifying wide-width versions under 5208 for plain cotton weaves
• Check for EU REACH compliance on dyes used in pile yarns to prevent customs holds
