Import Tips
• Include weaving end-use affidavits if queried, but note classification is material-based, not end-use
• Test for 'multiple (folded)' via yarn structure analysis to prevent downgrade to single yarn codes
• Watch for contamination claims; ensure clean staple fiber certification for duty-free preferences
