Import Tips
• Ensure the pattern is from coloured yarns, not from printing, as printed fabrics fall under a different tariff item
• Confirm the artificial staple fibre content is below 85% by weight and that viscose is present as filaments
• Keep documentation of the yarn-dyeing process to support the classification
