Import Tips

• Verify fiber composition via lab tests; must be synthetic (e.g

• polyester) and processed for spinning to qualify

• Provide mill certificates showing carding/combing process; common pitfall is misclassifying unprocessed tow

• Declare denier and staple length accurately to avoid reclassification to unprocessed fibers
