Import Tips

• Verify fiber content via lab test to confirm ≥85% artificial filament like viscose for accurate classification

• Provide bleaching process documentation to distinguish from dyed or printed variants in other subheadings

• Avoid misclassification as synthetic by ensuring supplier certifies artificial origin (e.g

• rayon from cellulose)
