Import Tips
• Verify flax content exceeds 85% via lab testing for accurate classification under 6302.99
• Include mill certificates proving flax origin to avoid misclassification as cotton or synthetic
• Label as 'flax linen' clearly; pitfalls include blending with synthetics shifting to 6302.99.90
