Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm less than 85% polyester with cotton dominant mix, avoiding reclassification to 5513
• Include mill test certificates showing weight >170 g/m² and weave type to meet 'other woven fabrics' criteria
• Declare as unbleached/bleached accurately; dyeing shifts to 5514.21+ subheadings, increasing duties
