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
