Import Tips

• Measure and declare fabric width accurately; widths over 30cm must not be confused with narrow fabrics

• Avoid declaring as 'netting for industrial use' which could shift to 5608; specify decorative/apparel end-use

• Retain production certificates showing raschel machinery use to prove mechanical lace classification
