Import Tips
• Conduct fiber burn tests for rayon verification, as misidentified natural fibers could reclassify to cotton or wool chapters
• Document printing as a separate process post-knitting to secure the 'printed' subheading and correct duty application
• For retail packaging, note if sold in sets with trims—bulk rolls stay under fabric headings, avoiding furnishing article tariffs
