Import Tips
• Use FTIR spectroscopy for fiber ID to confirm viscose as artificial, avoiding confusion with cellulosic naturals
• Submit technical data sheets showing warp knit chain stitches per Chapter note, distinguishing from stitch-bonded
• Beware of over-declaring as 'narrow' if width exceeds limits, leading to higher duties in other categories
