Import Tips
• Verify fiber content exceeds 85% synthetics via lab tests to confirm Chapter 60 classification and avoid reclassification to man-made fiber blends
• Provide mill certificates showing unbleached/bleached status and warp knit construction to prevent duties under dyed fabric headings like 6005.37
