Import Tips
• Verify fiber content through lab testing to confirm abaca composition, as misdeclaration can lead to reclassification or penalties
• Provide documentation proving suitability for headwear, such as supplier specs or end-use statements, to avoid scrutiny
• Check for any woven fringes; if present, it shifts to another subheading in 5808
