Import Tips
• Verify fiber length does not exceed 5 mm with lab testing to confirm classification as flock under Chapter 56
• Provide mill certificates detailing fiber composition to avoid misclassification as raw textile fibers in Chapters 50-55
• Declare exact end-use (e.g
• flocking vs. filling) as it may trigger scrutiny for alternative headings like 5601.21
