Import Tips

• Provide detailed invoices breaking out lace value separately to avoid reclassification as higher-duty apparel

• Use AATCC test methods for shrinkage and colorfastness to meet US import standards for linens

• Avoid bulk baling without wear signs, as that could mistakenly invoke worn clothing rules of 6309
