Import Tips

• Verify fiber content exceeds 85% artificial fibers via lab tests to confirm classification under 6301.90.00.10

• Include detailed invoices specifying 'blanket of artificial fibers' to avoid reclassification as bedding

• Watch for blending with natural fibers, which could shift to other subheadings if over threshold
