Import Tips
• Include safety standard certifications (e.g
• OSHA-equivalent) in import docs to support classification
• Measure mesh size and confirm no fish-catching design to differentiate from 5608.19.10
• Label fiber content accurately; blends over 50% man-made stay here, but shifts if natural dominant
