Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify textile fiber content via lab testing to confirm man-made fibers exceed other fibers by weight for 3921.90.1500 classification

• Provide weight certificates showing under 1.492 kg/m² to avoid reclassification to heavier subheadings

• Ensure invoices detail 'combined with textile' to prevent errors with plain plastic films in 3920
