Import Tips
• Submit detailed photos or samples showing lace and printing to substantiate embroidery/lace classification and prevent downgrading
• Declare exact dimensions as 'bolster-specific' (typically 12x36 inches) to match the subheading's precise categorization
• Watch for common pitfalls like mislabeling as pillow shams, which could shift to broader bed linen codes
