Import Tips
• Conduct fiber burn tests if blend ratios are close to 50/50 to confirm synthetic dominance for 6204.63
• Package for retail sale individually, not in ensembles, to prevent reclassification as 6204.62 sets
• Watch for anti-dumping duties on specific Asian synthetic apparel origins; check ITC notices pre-shipment
