Import Tips
• Provide precise fiber content breakdown (e.g
• 60% polyester staple, 40% cotton) via lab tests to confirm artificial fiber dominance
• Avoid common pitfall of declaring as 100% cotton; blends require accurate Chapter 55 classification
• Document printing method to prevent reclass to Chapter 59 for heavily treated surfaces
