Import Tips
• Disclose all fiber components including spandex in entry docs to prevent penalties for incomplete declarations
• Use independent lab analysis for twill verification, as customs may microscopically examine weave
• Monitor updates to man-made fiber tariffs, as blends can trigger additional Section 301 duties
