Import Tips

Verify fiber composition lab tests to confirm 85%+ acrylic staple fibers, as required for Chapter 55 classification

Include detailed weave specs and weight certification in documentation to match 'blue denim' statistical note

Avoid common pitfall of classifying as cotton denim (5209) without staple fiber proof
