Import Tips
• Verify exact weight per square meter and polyester filament content via lab testing to confirm >170 g/m² and 85%+ textured polyester
• Provide mill certificates and weave specifications to avoid misclassification as lighter fabrics under 5407.51.0030
• Ensure documentation distinguishes unbleached/bleached from dyed variants in 5407.52 to prevent duty reassessment
