Import Tips
• Verify fiber content through lab testing to confirm 85%+ synthetic staple fibers, as blends under 85% shift to other headings
• Provide weave structure documentation (satin weave pattern) to avoid misclassification as plain weave under 5512.19
• Ensure accurate weight per square meter labeling to distinguish from lighter or heavier fabric categories
