Import Tips
• Verify weight certification via lab testing to confirm >170 g/m², as underweight shifts to lighter categories
• Provide detailed yarn composition reports showing ≥85% polyester filaments to avoid reclassification
• Ensure dyeing process documentation, as undyed equivalents fall under different subheadings
