Import Tips
• Obtain certificates of origin for linen (from flax) to qualify for potential preferential tariffs; mislabeling as cotton leads to penalties
• Ensure packaging labels distinguish 'table linen' from kitchen linen to avoid overlap with 6302.40.30 subheading
• Conduct pre-shipment inspections for crochet verification, as incomplete finishing could classify as unfinished under Chapter 59
