Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab testing to confirm 85%+ polyester staple fibers, as blends under 85% shift to other subheadings
• Provide mill test certificates and weave construction details to Customs for accurate classification under satin/twill (617)
• Avoid misclassification as plain weave by submitting fabric samples if challenged during entry
