Import Tips
• Verify the fabric width and wale count (e.g
• 224 wales) to confirm classification as cut corduroy; measure precisely to avoid reclassification
• Provide lab test reports certifying man-made fiber composition (e.g
• polyester >85%) and cut pile structure for customs clearance
• Ensure no impregnation or coating, as that would shift to Chapter 59; declare as greige or finished fabric accordingly
