Import Tips

• Include commercial invoices specifying 'woven pile' and exact yarn type (e.g

• nylon 100D filament) to match the 'other textile materials' subheading

• Avoid common pitfalls by ensuring no chenille yarns are used, as predominant chenille shifts to specific exclusions

• For upholstery end-use, note if sold in bulk rolls vs retail packaging to prevent misclassification as finished goods
