Import Tips

• Verify fiber content is at least 85% artificial fibers like polyester via lab testing to confirm classification

• Provide dyeing and printing process documentation to customs, as printed warp knits require proof of post-knitting printing

• Avoid misclassification as unprinted by submitting colorfastness test reports showing stable prints
