Import Tips
• Verify fiber composition via lab testing to confirm 100% polypropylene content, as blends may shift classification
• Include processing certificates (e.g
• carding reports) in documentation to prove 'processed for spinning' status
• Avoid misdeclaration as unprocessed tow (5503.20), which has different duties; check staple length and denier specs
