Import Tips
• Conduct weave structure analysis to confirm 'made-up' status, preventing shift to Chapter 52-55 yarn-fabric headings
• Use heat-seal or adhesive application details in documentation if applicable, but declare as sewn labels
• Avoid bulk mixing with trims; separate shipments prevent commingling duties under different headings
