Import Tips

Conduct fiber content analysis per ASTM standards; viscose blends often trigger CBP scrutiny for accurate <85% cotton declaration

Document uncombed status with process certificates to distinguish from combed alternatives

Avoid excessive sizing that could affect weight-based nm calculations during customs exam
