Import Tips
• Measure fabric width precisely post-finishing; shrinkage can push it over 30 cm, changing to 6006
• Include commercial invoices detailing yarn type and percentage; U.S
• Customs often audits elastomeric claims
• Avoid selling as finished garments; classify as fabric to prevent higher apparel duties in Chapter 61
