Import Tips

Verify fiber composition via lab testing to confirm 100% viscose rayon and avoid misclassification as synthetic fibers

Include manufacturer specifications on denier, length, and processing status in import documentation to prove HTS 5504.10.00.00 applicability

Watch for common pitfalls like declaring processed fibers, which shifts to Chapter 55 headings and higher duties
