Import Tips
• Verify fiber content exceeds 85% synthetic via lab testing to confirm classification under synthetic fibers
• Include mill certificates showing unbleached status to avoid reclassification as dyed or printed
• Declare width and weight accurately; statistical suffixes may apply for narrow (<30cm) or heavy (>170g/m²) variants
