Import Tips
• Document viscose as man-made fiber distinctly; confusion with natural fibers can lead to incorrect 5209 classification
• Ensure no quantitative restrictions apply via origin checks, as some cotton blends tie to U.S. notes on staple lengths
• Label rolls with exact metrics (width, weight) matching chapter note calculations to speed customs clearance
