Import Tips
• Provide detailed fiber content breakdown in commercial invoice to justify ≥85% synthetic threshold
• Use large-denomination cones (>5kg) and label as 'industrial use only' to prevent reclassification as retail
• Watch for declaration errors on yarn count; mismatches can trigger penalties under CBP valuation rules
