Import Tips & Compliance

Verify fiber content is 100% artificial (e.g

Provide mill certificates confirming warp knit process and dyeing; statistical note requires precise yarn specs

Avoid pitfalls by distinguishing from circular knits (Chapter 60 headings); use invoices detailing galloon machine origin
