Import Tips
• Label fiber content accurately (e.g
• 60% polyester staple, 40% filament); FTC compliance avoids penalties
• Test for no cabled yarns and exact ends/picks per cm²; importers often miss square construction proof
• For apparel end-use, pair with HTS 62 notes; bulk rolls need weight declarations under 170 g/m²
