Import Tips
• Verify fiber content is at least 85% artificial staple fibers via lab testing to confirm Chapter 55 classification
• Provide dyeing and printing process documentation to distinguish from unprinted fabrics under 5516.93
• Avoid misclassification as apparel fabric by ensuring it's sold by the meter, not as finished garments
