Import Tips
• Verify fabric weight exceeds 170 g/m² with lab testing; provide mill test certificates to Customs
• Declare exact polyester filament content ≥85% and confirm non-textured yarns via yarn specs to avoid reclassification
• Label yarn colors accurately; multi-color requirement is strict per statistical notes—single color shifts to other subheadings
