Import Tips & Compliance

• Conduct fiber content analysis to prove polyester filament composition meets the 85% threshold

• Specify weave type (e.g

• plain poplin) and confirm not square construction per chapter notes to avoid sheeting misclassification

• Watch for pitfalls in color verification—dyed after weaving may classify differently
