Import Tips
• Verify width does not exceed 30 cm and confirm woven selvages on both edges to qualify under heading 5806
• Provide lab test reports certifying man-made fiber composition (e.g
• polyester ≥85%) to avoid reclassification
• Avoid common pitfall of importing without selvages, which may shift to heading 5808 if fringed
