Import Tips

• Verify yarn composition via lab tests to confirm ≥85% artificial filament content for accurate classification

• Provide dyeing certificates and weight documentation (gsm) to avoid misclassification as unbleached or heavier fabrics

• Ensure supplier invoices specify 'dyed woven fabric' to prevent shifts to Chapter 59 coated textiles
