Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab testing to confirm 85%+ synthetic staple fibers, as blends under 85% shift to other headings
• Provide weave structure documentation (e.g
• twill pattern photos) to customs for accurate 617 classification
• Avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling as plain weave, which would classify under 5512.11 or 5512.19
