Import Tips

Include Safety Data Sheet (SDS) showing reactivity and handling precautions for customs clearance

Confirm fiber application (cellulose-reactive) matches invoice description to prevent reclassification

Watch for common pitfall of undervaluation; base value on commercial quantity pricing, not retail
