Import Tips

• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm less than 85% polyester staple fibers mixed mainly with cotton, as misclassification can lead to penalties

• Provide detailed weave structure and weight documentation (gsm >170) to customs for accurate HTS 5514.43.00.90 classification

• Ensure printing is on one or both sides and declare as 'other' printed polyester-cotton fabric to avoid reclassification to unprinted codes
