Import Tips
• Provide manufacturing details showing applique attachment method to confirm it's not woven-in, preserving classification
• Use HTS-specific invoices; mislabeling as 'pillow sham' can lead to valuation disputes
• Test for flammability compliance if marketed for consumer sale to bypass CBP holds
