Import Tips & Compliance

Conduct fiber content analysis to confirm ≥85% synthetic staples; blends risk reclassification

Document bleaching process to stay in 5512.91; over-finishing leads to 5512.99

Avoid napping that exceeds sheeting tolerances, as heavy napping might qualify as broadcloth exclusion
