Import Tips

• Verify fiber content exceeds 85% synthetics via lab testing to confirm synthetic fiber classification and avoid natural fiber headings

• Provide dyeing process documentation and colorfastness certificates to customs for smooth clearance under 'dyed' subheading

• Measure openness factor; if under 12 stitches/cm vertical, it may require reclassification to velour statistical notes
