Import Tips
• Break down exact fiber percentages (e.g
• 90% polyester, 10% spandex) for accurate synthetic fiber heading placement
• Test for elasticity to confirm spandex content doesn't trigger alternative elastic fabric classifications
• Use invoices specifying 'stitch-bonded' to match statistical note (223) for smooth clearance
