Import Tips
• Verify the fabric is woven (not knitted) to avoid reclassification under Chapter 61; provide weave structure documentation
• Label fiber content accurately per FTC rules; common pitfall is misdeclaring blends exceeding 15% non-cotton fibers
• Ensure no metal parts or attachments that could shift to Chapter 83; declare as accessories only if sold separately
