Import Tips
• Verify fiber content is predominantly artificial (e.g
• polyester) via lab tests to confirm Chapter 60 classification
• Include commercial invoices specifying 'unbleached' and 'stitch-bonded' status to avoid misclassification as dyed or printed
• Watch for stitch count if resembling velour; must have fewer than 12 vertical stitches/cm per statistical notes
