Import Tips

Verify textile composition via lab tests to confirm non-cotton content and avoid reclassification to cotton-specific codes

Include detailed invoices specifying 'furniture part' use to prevent customs treating it as finished upholstery

Check for flammability standards compliance (e.g

CA TB 117) as common pitfall for seating textiles
