Import Tips

• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm 85%+ artificial filament; misdeclaration can lead to reclassification

• Provide dyeing process certification and weight specs (greige vs finished) to avoid disputes on >170 g/m² threshold

• Ensure no restricted azo dyes used, as rayon imports often face colorfastness scrutiny
