Import Tips
• Verify stitch density (12+ per cm vertically) via lab test to confirm velour classification per statistical note
• Provide mill test certificates for man-made fiber content to avoid reclassification to cotton or wool headings
• Declare width and weight accurately; over 30 cm widths must specify if 'other' to prevent duty miscalculation
