Import Tips & Compliance

Verify textile composition via lab testing to confirm it's 'other textile materials' like polyester, avoiding reclassification to man-made fiber subheadings

Include detailed invoices specifying UV resistance and weight per square meter to support valuation and duty assessment

Ensure grommets and eyelets are noted as integral features, not separate hardware, to prevent parts classification issues
