Import Tips
• Provide weave structure certificates to distinguish from knitted ribbons (Chapter 60) during customs review
• Declare exact width and fiber content; pitfall is undervaluing as craft supply when used commercially
• Bundle invoices must separate from sets with apparel to avoid composite goods classification
