Import Tips
• Document as 'narrow woven fabric, ribbon type' with lab tests confirming 100% man-made fibers to match subheading
• Ensure no embroidery or applique, as that triggers 5810; declare plain if sequin-free
• For bulk imports, specify retail packaging vs. bulk to avoid set classification issues
