Import Tips & Compliance
• Label as 'bleached' with lab reports; over-bleaching resembling optical brightening may trigger 6006.24
• Declare exact construction (e.g
• interlock) but note it falls under 'other' unless wale-specific
• Watch for contamination; synthetic blends over 5% shift to 6006.41+ headings
