Import Tips
• Label exact blend percentages on invoices; US Customs requires proof for mixed filament classifications
• Avoid common pitfall of mislabeling as 'poplin'—check sheeting specs to prevent shift to 5407.43
• Include mill test certificates for dye fastness and weight to speed customs clearance
