Import Tips & Compliance

β€’ Include bleaching process documentation to confirm it's unfinished fabric, not treated beyond basic processing

β€’ Measure and certify fabric width >30 cm; narrow widths reclassify under 5806

β€’ Avoid declaring as 'medical gauze' if unfinished to prevent shift to Chapter 30
