Import Tips

• Verify fiber content exceeds 85% polyester staple fibers via lab tests to confirm Chapter 55 classification

• Provide weave construction details (ends/picks per cm², yarn number) in documentation to distinguish from printcloth or sheeting

• Avoid misclassification as dyed (5512.19) by ensuring no bleaching beyond raw state; common pitfall is residual processing
