Import Tips

• Verify fiber content certificate showing ≥85% synthetic staple fibers to avoid reclassification

• Provide mill test reports confirming multiple (folded) construction; single yarns fall under 5509.22

• Ensure not put up for retail sale; bulk spools only to prevent Chapter 55 exclusions
