Import Tips
• Conduct burn tests for fiber ID; acrylic burns differently than wool, aiding customs verification
• Include commercial invoices detailing end-use to prevent misclassification as apparel
• Avoid bulk packaging that mimics industrial rolls, which could shift to different statistical breaks
