Import Tips
• Verify the fabric width and selvage presence to confirm it doesn't qualify as narrow woven under heading 5806
• Provide mill certificates for cotton fiber content to avoid misclassification as man-made fiber blends
• Ensure documentation specifies 'uncut epinglé' status to distinguish from cut pile fabrics
