Import Tips
• Provide weave analysis or photos showing nap direction to differentiate from knitted fabrics excluded by Chapter notes
• Label as 'pillowcase' vs 'sham' correctly; cases are functional, shams decorative, affecting valuation
• Comply with U.S. flammability standards for bedding; non-compliance leads to CBP holds
