Import Tips
• Include chemical analysis certificates proving >90% cellulose acetate to distinguish from synthetics under GRI rules
• Avoid retail dyeing/packaging; bulk industrial form keeps it in 5403—retail shifts to 55
• Watch for mixed filaments; pure acetate only, or it may classify by predominant fiber
