Import Tips
• Test for exact elastomeric percentage as swim fabrics often exceed 15%, but declare accurately to prevent duty evasion claims
• Include performance specs like chlorine resistance in invoices for tariff justification
• Avoid bulk packaging that mimics industrial rolls; retail cuts may need different statistical suffixes
