Import Tips

Verify yarn composition via lab tests to confirm synthetic filament and multi-color status, avoiding misclassification as dyed fabrics under 5407.52

Provide weave structure documentation (e.g

plain weave specs) as statistical notes require proof of non-specialized construction

Label fabrics with country of origin and fiber content per FTC rules to prevent CBP holds at entry
