Import Tips
• Submit weave structure affidavits to distinguish crepe from jacquard patterns during customs review
• Avoid common error of declaring as 'dyed in mass' without proof, per bleached/colored yarn definitions
• Partner with accredited labs for fiber analysis to prevent reclassification disputes
