Import Tips
• Verify fiber content through lab testing to confirm >=85% PVA, as misdeclaration can lead to reclassification or penalties
• Provide mill certificates and yarn specifications showing multiple (folded) construction to avoid confusion with single yarns
• Ensure not labeled or packaged for retail sale, as this shifts to Chapter 55 retail headings
