Import Tips

• Verify yarn color variation and synthetic fiber content exceeds 85% for accurate classification; provide lab test reports if audited

• Ensure declaration of stitch density if claiming velour statistical note; common pitfall is misclassifying as uniform color yarn

• Label fabric width and weight per statistical requirements to avoid penalties during customs entry
