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)
