Import Tips
• Verify fiber content is predominantly artificial (e.g
• polyester) via lab tests to confirm classification under 6005.41
• Provide mill certificates showing unbleached/bleached status and open-work structure with at least 229 g/m² weight
• Avoid misclassification as dyed fabric (6005.42) by ensuring no colorants; common pitfall is incomplete bleaching documentation
