Import Tips

• Label intended end-use (nonwoven vs. spinning) as it affects potential reclassification during audits

• Test for crimp percentage; high-crimp fibers for nonwovens must still meet staple processing criteria

• Avoid bundling with finished nonwoven fabric to prevent set classification under Chapter 56
