Import Tips
• Conduct burn tests or FTIR analysis to confirm acetate (artificial) vs polyester (synthetic); misclassification is common
• Include detailed invoices specifying thread counts, yarn denier, and color variations; comply with CBP fiber content labeling
• Avoid bulk packaging without specs—retail-ready rolls need country-of-origin marks visible on consumer-facing side
