Import Tips
• Verify the fabric width does not exceed 30 cm and confirm chenille yarn construction via lab testing to avoid misclassification under broader cotton fabric headings
• Provide mill certificates detailing cotton content (at least 85%) and woven structure; ensure no impregnation or coating that would shift to Chapter 59
