Import Tips
• Measure fabric width precisely; widths over 30cm confirm 6005 vs narrow galloon in 6002
• Include production records proving warp knit (not stitch-bonded) to align with chapter's knitted goods definition
• Avoid common pitfall of undervaluing as 'trim'—declare as fabric if sold by length for cutting
