Import Tips
• Label fiber content precisely (e.g
• 60% acrylic staple, 40% polyester filament) to meet FTC and customs rules
• Avoid common error of declaring as 'broadcloth' if napped; confirm plain weave per notes
• For upholstery, include end-use affidavits if challenging industrial vs retail classification
