Import Tips

• 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
