Import Tips

• Include mill test reports confirming nylon filament content and exact g/m² to comply with statistical note requirements

• Ensure no printcloth characteristics (e.g

• avoid square construction with high thread counts) to prevent misclassification

• Declare as bulk fabric rolls, not finished goods, to avoid Chapter 62 apparel duties
