Import Tips

Verify fiber composition via lab testing to confirm vinyon content over 85% vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymer

Include manufacturer specs on denier, length, and lack of processing in import documentation

Avoid misclassification by ensuring fibers are not carded or crimped, which shifts to 5504
