Import Tips & Compliance

Verify yarn composition is predominantly polyester staple fibers via lab tests to confirm classification under 5515.19

Provide weave density and weight certifications to customs, as duck requires specific construction exceeding poplin/broadcloth limits

Avoid misclassification as sheeting by ensuring non-square construction if applicable; common pitfall for bulk imports
