Import Tips
• Verify fiber content exceeds 85% man-made fibers via lab tests to avoid reclassification to cotton headings
• Include commercial invoices detailing dimensions and use as table linen to support 'other table linen' claim
• Avoid retail packaging that might suggest furnishing status under 6302.91, leading to duty disputes
