Import Tips
• Document garnett machine processing without subsequent carding to validate 'not carded or combed' status
• Test for fugitive dyes or delustering agents allowable under unbleached yarn notes
• Avoid bulk packaging with other textile wastes to prevent chapter note (B) mixed material classification
