Import Tips
• Verify fiber content is 100% man-made (e.g
• polyester) via lab tests to confirm classification under 5801.36; natural fiber blends shift to other headings
• Provide mill certificates and weave structure documentation proving chenille yarns are on one side only to avoid reclassification as two-sided pile
