Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm less than 85% synthetics; invoices must specify exact percentages
• Ensure documentation proves unbleached state (no chemical processing beyond scouring); bleaching shifts to 5407.82
• Avoid misclassification as 100% cotton (5208) by providing weave analysis showing synthetic filaments
