Import Tips
• Verify decitex measurement under 67 and twist below 5 turns/m via lab testing to confirm classification
• Provide mill certificates documenting viscose rayon composition and filament count to avoid misclassification as synthetic
• Ensure not put up for retail sale (e.g
• no consumer packaging) to prevent shift to Chapter 55 headings
