Import Tips
• Verify stitch-bonded construction via lab testing to confirm classification under 6005, as it differs from crocheted or weft-knitted fabrics
• Provide yarn color documentation and fiber content certificates, ensuring artificial fibers exceed 85% composition
• Avoid misclassification as velour under 6001 by proving fewer than 12 vertical stitches per cm if applicable
