Import Tips

• Verify the outer surface material composition via lab testing to confirm it meets 'textile materials' criteria and avoid reclassification to plastic sheeting

• Include detailed packing lists specifying dimensions and weight to prevent undervaluation disputes

• Obtain a binding ruling from CBP if the bag has mixed materials exceeding 50% textiles
