Import Tips
• Classify based on objective weave specs, not end-use; include construction affidavits to defend against industrial vs retail challenges
• Watch for anti-dumping duties on certain polyester staple fabrics from Asia; check Commerce scope rulings
• Bundle with commercial invoice detailing yarn count and no cabled yarns to preempt CBP queries
