Import Tips & Compliance

• Document weave type with technical specs or photos; sateen must show floating warp yarns per tariff definition

• Ensure dyeing is even and not printed to stay in 'dyed' subheading; printing shifts to 5212.25

• Comply with FTC labeling for fiber content; test for shrinkage to prevent post-entry adjustments
