Import Tips

• Verify weave type via lab testing to confirm twill construction, as misclassification to plain weave could shift to 5516.92

• Provide detailed yarn composition certificates showing artificial staple fibers over 85% to avoid reclassification under blended fiber headings

• Include printing process documentation to distinguish from unprinted fabrics under 5516.93, preventing duty underpayments
