Import Tips

Verify stitch-bonded structure with chain stitches from textile yarn to confirm classification under Chapter 60 notes

Provide lab tests confirming synthetic fiber content over 85% polyester and unbleached state to avoid misclassification

Watch for bleaching processes that could shift to other subheadings; ensure documentation matches 'unbleached or bleached' but specify unbleached
