Import Tips
• Verify exact width under 30 cm and elastomeric yarn content via lab testing to confirm HTS 6002.90.80 classification
• Provide yarn composition certificates; misdeclaration as wider fabric risks reclassification to Chapter 60 headings
• Ensure no rubber thread presence, as it alters classification; common pitfall is incomplete fiber content labeling
