Import Tips
• Verify fiber content through lab testing to confirm acrylic staple fibers exceed 85% for Chapter 55 classification
• Provide weave structure certification (satin/twill) as customs may require samples for verification
• Avoid misdeclaration as plain weave; common pitfall leads to reclassification and penalties
