Import Tips
• Include mill certificates confirming 100% nylon (man-made) content to prevent cotton blend disputes
• Label rolls clearly as 'uncut weft pile' to assist Customs in distinguishing from cut pile under 5801.32
• Avoid bulk packaging that could imply industrial parts; specify end-use in commercial invoice
