Import Tips
• Verify tufting process documentation to distinguish from woven terry fabrics under 5802.11 or carpets in 5703
• Ensure product width exceeds narrow fabric limits of 30cm per heading 5806 notes to avoid reclassification
• Label fiber content accurately; blends over 50% synthetic may shift to man-made fiber headings if not purely tufted
