Import Tips
• Ensure Customs lab testing if fiber blend is ambiguous; vegetable fibers must visibly predominate
• Include invoices specifying sole material to confirm it's not the dominant ground-contact area per Note 4(b)
• Watch for seasonal quotas on vegetable fiber textiles; apply for licenses early
