Import Tips

• Verify exact fiber content via lab testing as blends near 85% threshold may require reclassification

• Include retail packaging photos and weight declarations to prove 'put up for retail sale' status

• Avoid bulk spools; ensure individual consumer packaging to prevent shift to Chapter 55 heading 5516
