Import Tips
• Verify width does not exceed 30 cm and confirm man-made fiber composition via lab tests to avoid reclassification
• Include detailed technical specs on pile type (hook/loop) and adhesive-free assembly in commercial invoices
• Watch for common pitfalls like mislabeling as finished garments, which shifts to Chapter 62
