Import Tips

• Verify yarn composition via lab tests to confirm synthetic staple fibers and multi-color yarn usage, avoiding reclassification to uniform color subheadings

• Provide weave structure documentation proving non-jacquard and non-denim to comply with exclusions in 5515.99.90.05

• Label fabrics with country of origin and fiber content per FTC rules to prevent customs holds
