Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab tests as artificial fibers like viscose must be certified to avoid reclassification to natural fiber headings
• Ensure dimensions exceed 60cm per side to classify as scarf under 6214, not handkerchiefs in 6213.20
• Provide commercial invoices detailing artificial fiber composition (e.g
• 100% viscose) to prevent customs holds
