Import Tips
• Include safety data sheets confirming no hazardous additives, as CBP often inspects for flammability in packaging materials
• Label clearly with country of origin and material content to comply with FTC fiber labeling if repackaged for retail
• Check for plaiting or braiding; if present, it may shift to 5607.49.1500, altering duty rates
