Import Tips

• Verify the synthetic fiber content via lab testing to confirm classification under 5505.10.00, avoiding misclassification as natural fiber waste

• Include certificates of analysis showing fiber type (e.g

• polyester) and waste origin to facilitate customs clearance

• Be aware of environmental regulations on waste imports; ensure documentation proves it's for recycling, not disposal
