Import Tips
• Verify width does not exceed 30 cm and confirm adhesive assembly method to avoid reclassification under broader woven headings
• Provide lab tests proving warp-only construction without weft threads for customs compliance
• Label fiber content accurately (e.g
• 100% polyester) to prevent penalties during import inspection
