Import Tips
• Conduct fiber burn tests if challenged on man-made status; acrylic melts distinctly from naturals
• Specify 'not lined nor trimmed' on commercial invoice to prevent 6505 misclassification
• Bulk imports should be palletized without retail packaging to maintain 'industrial intermediate' status
