Import Tips
• Verify decitex measurement via supplier certification to confirm 3.3-13.2 range for HTS 5503.20.00.45 compliance
• Provide lab test reports on fiber length and crimp to avoid reclassification as processed fibers under 5506
• Ensure documentation specifies 'not carded, combed or otherwise processed' to prevent duty disputes
