Import Tips
• Include chlorine resistance certifications if marketed as such, but focus on fiber content for tariff; common pitfall is undervaluing rolls
• Use commercial invoices specifying exact % of elastomeric yarn (e.g
• Lycra) to prevent audits
• Bundle in sets with patterns? Classify as sets under GRI 3 if not sole fabric
