Import Tips
• Verify yarn composition via lab tests to confirm 100% nylon (222) and multi-color differentiation; provide mill certificates for fiber content
• Ensure declaration of double knit/interlock structure to avoid reclassification
• Watch for common pitfalls like under-declaring stitch density if marketed as velour
