Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm polyester staple exceeds 50% with wool blend for 5515 classification
• Provide weave specs (e.g
• poplin construction) in documentation to avoid misclassification as man-made filament under Chapter 54
• Include certificates of origin for wool content to qualify for potential preferential duty rates
