Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify the fabric width exceeds 30 cm and selvages are present to avoid reclassification under heading 5806 for narrow woven fabrics
• Provide lab test reports confirming fiber composition as 'other textile materials' (e.g
• polyester filament) to prevent shifts to man-made staple fiber categories
• Declare if floats are uncut per Chapter Note 2; cutting them could change classification to a different pile fabric heading
