Import Tips

• Verify fiber content exceeds 85% polyester via lab tests to confirm synthetic classification and avoid reclassification to blended fabrics

• Provide dyeing/printing process documentation as printing must be a finishing operation post-knitting per Chapter 60 notes

• Include swatches or digital samples in shipments to demonstrate 'printed' status and prevent misclassification as unprinted knits
