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
