Import Tips
• Document damask as weave, not embroidery, with weave diagrams to maintain 'other' classification
• Comply with country-of-origin marking 'Made in France - 100% Linen' for consumer trust and CBP approval
• Avoid sets with matching runners to prevent classification as coordinated furnishing sets
