Import Tips
• Verify yarn count, construction, and weight match statistical note (c) definitions to avoid reclassification to 5516.44.0035
• Provide lab test reports confirming <85% artificial staple fibers and cotton mix for customs compliance
• Ensure accurate printing documentation; plain dyed fabrics shift to other subheadings
