Import Tips

• Verify thread count with lab testing (warp 70-142/cm, filling 32-71/cm) and confirm >85% artificial filament via fiber analysis to avoid reclassification

• Provide mill certificates documenting yarn composition, colors, and weave specs; declare accurately to prevent penalties under 19 CFR 134 marking rules

• Watch for common pitfalls like mislabeling as synthetic (polyester) which shifts to 5408.33; ensure no cotton blends exceed 15%
