Import Tips & Compliance

• Submit colorfastness test results for dyed fabrics to support 'other' classification and avoid disputes

• Document weave type (e.g

• 21x21 construction) to confirm terry pile vs. flat weaves

• Avoid packing in consumer-ready rolls; bulk yardage prevents shift to apparel headings
