Import Tips
• Verify fabric width does not exceed 30 cm and confirm selvages to qualify as narrow woven under heading 5806
• Provide documentation proving suitability for typewriter ribbons (HTS 9612) to avoid reclassification
• Ensure accurate man-made fiber content labeling; common pitfall is misdeclaring as wider fabric under 5407
