Import Tips
• Label shipments clearly as 'ramie headwear braid' and include Certificates of Origin to qualify for any fiber-specific preferences
• Avoid common pitfalls like classifying as apparel parts (Ch. 61/62); emphasize 'in the piece' status in invoices
• Inspect for completeness; incomplete braids may be seen as waste under 6310
