Import Tips

• Verify that no visible ground fabric is present; customs may require samples to confirm classification under 5810.10

• Declare exact thread composition (e.g

• nylon, polyester) as it affects duty rates and quota restrictions if applicable

• Avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling as lace fabric (5804), which could trigger reclassification and penalties
