Import Tips
• Verify width does not exceed 30 cm and confirm selvages are present to qualify as narrow woven fabric
• Provide lab tests proving terry pile construction to avoid misclassification as plain narrow fabrics
• Label fiber content accurately; common pitfall is undervaluing as ribbon imports
