Import Tips
• 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
