Import Tips
• Verify fiber content exceeds 85% acrylic staple via lab testing to confirm classification under 5512.21.00.70
• Ensure documentation specifies unbleached state and oxford weave to avoid reclassification as plain weave
• Watch for weight over 170 g/m²; lighter fabrics may shift to other subheadings
