Import Tips
• Verify weave type via lab testing to confirm satin construction, as misclassification to plain weave can alter duties
• Provide mill certificates showing unbleached status and filament yarn composition to avoid bleaching disputes at customs
• Ensure accurate weight declaration (g/m²) as it impacts statistical suffixes and potential reclassification
