Import Tips
• Verify fiber content is over 85% polyester via lab testing to confirm synthetic fiber classification and avoid misclassification
• Provide dyeing and printing process documentation to prove 'printed' status during customs review
• Watch for pile height; if resembling velour (12+ stitches/cm vertical), note statistical distinctions but same duty rate
