Import Tips
• Verify fiber content exceeds 85% man-made fibers via lab testing to confirm classification in 5801.37
• Provide weave structure documentation showing cut warp pile to avoid misclassification as uncut pile under 5801.31
• Ensure no impregnation or coating, as those shift to Chapter 59 per chapter notes
