Import Tips

• Verify discharge printing process documentation to confirm classification, as it differs from standard pigment or reactive printing

• Provide lab tests proving artificial filament composition (e.g

• viscose rayon) and weight under statistical note limits

• Avoid misdeclaration as unprinted greige fabric (5408.34.10), which has different duty rates; include production process affidavits
