Import Tips

• Verify fiber content exceeds 85% synthetic staple fibers via lab testing to avoid reclassification under blended fabric headings

• Provide weave specifications and weight (g/m²) in documentation to confirm 'duck' status per chapter 55 statistical notes

• Watch for common pitfalls like mislabeling as cotton duck, which shifts to Chapter 52 and higher duties
