Import Tips
• Submit detailed construction specs (ends/picks per cm, yarn number) to customs for sheeting verification
• Label fiber ratio accurately; 65/35 blends must show synthetics <85% to avoid Chapter 52 shift
• Watch for weight under-declaration; test g/m² precisely as <170g shifts to lighter categories
