Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab testing to confirm non-cotton composition and avoid reclassification to 5601.21
• Include mill certificates showing processed fibers not exceeding 5 mm for flock/wadding compliance
• Watch for binding requirements; if needle-punched into felt, it may shift to 5602.10
