Import Tips
• Document gsm and yarn count to confirm not sheeting (over 170 gsm with specific construction), avoiding 5515.92
• Include end-use declarations for workwear to differentiate from apparel fabrics potentially under 5515.21
• Beware of anti-dumping duties on certain polyester staple fabrics from Asia; check ITC notices
