Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify fabric weight with lab testing certificates to confirm >170 g/m² compliance; provide mill test reports showing polyester filament content ≥85%
• Common pitfall: misclassifying as lighter fabric under 5407.61 if weight undocumented
• Ensure no dyeing or finishing to maintain unbleached status
