Import Tips
• Provide flammability test reports to substantiate modacrylic content and end-use in safety apparel
• Confirm yarn count and construction match 'other yarn' criteria, avoiding put-up for retail under note 4 to Section XI
• Declare exact modacrylic percentage; blends under 85% may require pro-rata classification
