Import Tips
• Include certificates of origin and fiber analysis to prove hemp content, avoiding disputes with cotton-except provisions
• Document pile construction (uncut floats) to align with Chapter 58 note 2, distinguishing from cut-pile or terry fabrics
• Label rolls clearly with width over 30 cm to prevent narrow fabric misclassification under 5806
