Import Tips
• Verify fiber content through lab testing to confirm 100% man-made fibers, as blends may shift classification
• Include certificates of origin and knot density documentation to support 'knotted' claims during customs review
• Avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling as wool; declare accurately to prevent penalties
