Import Tips
• Verify width does not exceed 30 cm and has proper selvages to qualify under 5806; measure flattened width for tubular types
• Provide lab tests confirming 100% cotton composition to avoid reclassification to man-made fibers
• Label as 'narrow woven fabric' not 'strap' to prevent customs viewing it as finished apparel accessory
