Import Tips
• Conduct fiber content analysis to prove 85%+ polyester and non-textured status; retain supplier affidavits
• Measure selvage-to-selvage width precisely under 77 cm and document thread counts per statistical notes
• Beware reclassification if twist falls below 900 turns/m, shifting to general 5407.61 categories
