Import Tips

• 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
