Import Tips & Compliance
• Conduct material tests to confirm paper yarn usage, as synthetic blends may shift to man-made fiber subheadings
• Document sewing method explicitly, distinguishing from plaiting to stay within 6502.00.20.00
• Watch for inadvertent trimming during production, a pitfall leading to 6505 classification
