Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab testing to confirm 85%+ polyester staple fibers, as blends may shift classification
• Provide weave structure documentation (e.g
• photos or specs) to customs for twill verification under statistical note 617
• Avoid common pitfalls like misdeclaring as bleached; unbleached status requires no chemical whitening processes
