Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm <85% artificial staple fibers mixed mainly with cotton, as misclassification to 5515 can occur
• Provide weave analysis and yarn color documentation to customs for jacquard verification
• Avoid common pitfalls like incorrect weight declarations; ensure statistical note compliance for mixed fabrics
