Import Tips

• Submit fiber content affidavits proving 100% man-made (acrylic) to differentiate from natural fiber blends

• Use accredited labs for gsm testing; discrepancies can lead to duty adjustments or seizures

• Declare intended end-use as apparel if questioned, but avoid retail packaging to stay in fabric headings
