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
