Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab testing to confirm <85% synthetics; discrepancies lead to reclassification
• Include dyeing process certification and yarn count details in documentation for customs clearance
• Avoid misdeclaring as 100% cotton (5208) by providing blend invoices; common pitfall in apparel fabrics
