Import Tips
• Specify man-made fiber (viscose counts as such) in commercial docs; blends with cellulosic man-mades still qualify
• Test for exact weight and yarn metrics; minor variances can trigger audits under quantitative notes
• Label as 'other fabrics' not plain weave to avoid 5210.12 misclassification
