Import Tips
• Include detailed weave diagrams showing chenille yarn construction to distinguish from simple woven fabrics
• Ensure country-of-origin labeling complies with textile rules, as rayon blends may trigger additional scrutiny
• Avoid pitfalls by not declaring as 'upholstery' if intended for trim, preventing misclassification to broader categories
