Import Tips & Compliance

Provide weave diagrams confirming 3/4-thread twill or broken twill to distinguish from plain weave (5211.20.29.00)

Ensure MMF content labeling complies with FTC rules; blends must specify percentages accurately

Avoid bulk packing misclassification; retail-ready rolls may need different statistical suffixes
