Import Tips

Verify weave type via lab testing to confirm twill construction, as misclassification to plain weave (5515.99.90.00) is common

Include detailed yarn composition and gsm documentation to avoid reclassification under Chapter 54 for filament yarns

Label country of origin clearly, as synthetic fabrics often face additional scrutiny under trade agreements like USMCA
