Import Tips
• Provide certificates of hand-weaving from the manufacturer to distinguish from machine-made products under Chapter 58 exclusions
• Include detailed yarn composition labels (e.g
• wool/cotton) to avoid misclassification into apparel fabrics
• Declare as 'not made up' if sold unfolded to prevent shifts to finished furniture covers in other headings
