Import Tips
• Verify width does not exceed 30 cm and confirm selvages are present to qualify as narrow woven fabric under heading 5806
• Provide lab tests certifying 100% cotton composition and pile structure to avoid reclassification to broader fabric headings
• Declare as 'woven, not knitted' on entry documents; common pitfall is mislabeling as apparel trim leading to higher duties
