Import Tips
• Verify the fabric width and selvage presence to confirm it doesn't qualify as narrow woven under heading 5806
• Provide mill test certificates proving 100% man-made fiber composition to avoid reclassification to cotton headings
• Declare as 'uncut' explicitly in documentation to distinguish from cut pile fabrics under 5801.37.90
