Import Tips
• Label products clearly as 'flax/linen' with percentage; mislabeling as cotton can lead to 6302.92 reclassification and penalties
• Obtain Certificate of Origin for flax-producing countries like France or Belgium to qualify for preferential tariffs
• Ensure towels are finished goods, not unfinished fabric, to avoid Chapter 59 classification
