Import Tips
• Label with exact man-made fiber type (e.g
• nylon) and width over 30 cm to distinguish from narrow woven fabrics
• Include mill certificates proving cut pile process to prevent reclassification as loop pile
• Check for selvages; if cut from wider pieces without proper edges, it may need re-evaluation under 5806 notes
