Import Tips
• Verify elastomeric yarn content via lab testing to confirm >5% threshold and avoid reclassification to non-elastic headings
• Provide mill certificates documenting warp knit construction and width exceeding 30 cm for customs clearance
• Label rolls clearly with composition to prevent pitfalls in Country of Origin determinations under yarn-forward rules
