Import Tips
• Verify fiber content exceeds 50% artificial filament with wool via lab tests for accurate classification under 5408.32
• Include dyeing certificates and yarn composition invoices to avoid misclassification as plain artificial fabric
• Watch for common pitfalls like under-declaring wool content, which shifts to higher-duty 5408.32.00 categories
