Import Tips
• Include chemical analysis showing wax content and application method to confirm 'impregnated' status under heading 5907
• Label fiber content accurately; cotton base must predominate for chapter 59 applicability
• Avoid misclassification as chapter 52 cotton if wax is considered mere finishing; demonstrate functional coating effect
