Import Tips
• Document spandex as man-made staple fiber (not filament) and ensure total MMF triggers 615 restraints accurately
• Provide mill certificates confirming 'not combed' status and precise construction to prevent downgrading to sheeting
• Avoid bulk packaging; retail-ready rolls may qualify for different valuation but risk set classification issues
