Import Tips
• Verify filament composition via lab tests to confirm artificial yarn content over 85% for Chapter 54 classification
• Provide dyeing and printing process documentation to prove 'printed' status and avoid misclassification as unprinted (5408.33)
• Include weight per square meter specs (<170 g/m² typical for voile) to distinguish from heavier fabrics
