Import Tips & Compliance

Verify fiber content is over 85% artificial fibers via lab testing to confirm Chapter 60 classification and avoid reclassification to synthetic woven fabrics

Provide dyeing and printing process documentation, as printed warp knits require proof of post-knitting printing for accurate subheading placement

Include end-use certificates if for apparel to prevent misclassification; common pitfall is bulk shipments mistaken for non-printed goods
