Import Tips
• Label fiber content accurately per FTC rules; blends over 50% qualify here but watch for wool/linen exclusions
• Include supplier affidavits on coating material to prevent reclassification as uncoved under 6216.00.54
• Check for fourchettes in all finger joints during inspection to avoid 'other' subheading
