Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm >50% synthetic filaments with wool, as blends affect classification
• Include dyeing certificates and combing process documentation to avoid misclassification as uncombed
• Watch for common pitfalls like incorrect weave declarations; ensure it's not poplin or broadcloth per Chapter 54 notes
