Import Tips
• Verify fiber content exceeds 85% man-made fibers via lab testing to confirm classification
• Provide detailed invoices specifying napped finish, embroidery, and printing to avoid reclassification
• Ensure no cotton blend over 15% to prevent shift to cotton headings; watch for common undervaluation pitfalls
