Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm polyester-viscose rayon mix exceeds 85% combined synthetics for Chapter 55 classification
• Provide weave analysis and weight specs in documentation to distinguish from excluded poplin types under statistical notes
• Avoid misclassification as 100% polyester by detailing viscose component; common pitfall leads to audits
