Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm 85%+ polyester staple fibers, as blends under 85% shift to other subheadings
• Provide weave structure documentation (e.g
• twill count) to distinguish from plain weave fabrics in statistical note definitions
• Avoid misclassification as cotton denim (5209) by including polyester composition certificates; common pitfall is visual similarity
