Import Tips

• Verify yarn composition via lab testing to confirm ≥85% polyester filaments and document multi-color yarn usage for customs

• Provide weight certificates showing ≤170 g/m² to avoid misclassification into heavier fabric subheadings

• Ensure invoices specify 'woven fabric of polyester filaments' to prevent confusion with knitted or non-woven materials
