Import Tips
• Include mill certificates showing staple fiber composition and yarn counts to substantiate 85%+ synthetic content
• Ensure fabric width and construction details match 'duck' definitions to prevent shifts to lighter 'cheesecloth' categories
• Avoid bulk packaging mislabeled for retail, as it could trigger 'for retail sale' subheadings with different rates
