Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm <85% polyester and mainly cotton mix, as required for Chapter 55
• Provide weave structure documentation (e.g
• twill pattern photos) to customs for accurate 5514.23 classification
• Avoid misdeclaration as plain weave, which falls under 5514.21, leading to duty adjustments
