Import Tips
• Include weave specifications (e.g
• herringbone pattern) in documentation to distinguish from plain narrow fabrics
• Label as 'lacings' not 'tapes' on commercial invoices to prevent reclassification under heading 5806 for narrow woven fabrics
• Avoid bundling with finished corsets, as that could trigger Chapter 62 exclusions for made-up clothing parts
