Import Tips
• Verify exact flax content via lab testing to confirm <85% classification; blends with cotton/synthetics common
• Measure width precisely and document weave specs (ends/picks per cm) for customs verification against chapter note definitions
• Avoid misclassification as 85%+ flax (5309.21) by providing detailed fiber composition certificates
