Import Tips
• Verify exact flax content via lab testing as <85% threshold determines heading; ensure documentation proves unbleached status to avoid bleached subheading
• Subject to MMF restraints—check quotas via OTEXA before shipping
• Label fiber composition accurately per FTC rules to prevent CBP reclassification
