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
