Import Tips

• Verify yarn color variation and staple fiber composition via lab tests to confirm 5515 classification and avoid misclassification as uniform color fabrics

• Include detailed weave analysis in documentation, excluding any jacquard elements, and provide certificates of origin for duty preferences

• Watch for common pitfalls like incorrect weight declarations that could shift it to other polyester-viscose subheadings
