Import Tips
• Label cones clearly with exact blend ratios to comply with textile fiber content declarations
• Avoid retail packaging like labeled balls; ship in bulk cones to maintain 'not put up for retail sale' status
• Check for anti-dumping duties on specific polyester-wool blends from certain origins
