Import Tips

Verify mesh count and material composition via lab testing to confirm classification under 5911.20.10.00 and avoid misclassification as general bolting cloth

Provide supplier invoices detailing 'screen printing stencil' end-use to support technical textile status during customs entry

Ensure documentation includes weave specifications (e.g

110-200 mesh) to distinguish from non-stenciling fabrics and prevent duty reclassification
