Import Tips

Conduct fiber burn tests or supplier certifications to prove man-made fiber dominance over 50% for accurate classification

Declare as 'traveling bags' on commercial invoices with dimensions and capacity details

Watch for reclassification risks if zippers or hardware dominate; focus on outer surface material
