Import Tips
• Verify yarn composition via lab tests to confirm 100% artificial filament and dyed status for accurate classification
• Provide mill certificates documenting filament type and dyeing process to avoid reclassification to heading 5407
• Watch for square construction or weight specs that might shift to poplin/broadcloth subheadings
