Import Tips
• Obtain mill test certificates for fiber content to prove man-made composition over 85% polyester
• Avoid generic 'bag' descriptions in entries; specify 'for flour packing' to align with heading 6305 use
• Test for seam strength as weak construction can lead to rejection under packing standards
