Import Tips
• Label fiber content precisely (modacrylic % vs filaments) to comply with FTC rules and HTS verification
• Include construction details like yarn number and picks to distinguish from printcloth or sheeting
• Watch for duty shifts if filament content exceeds staple; importers often overlook blend ratios
