Import Tips
• Label products clearly as 'man-made fibers' to match quota category 659 and prevent customs holds
• Provide photos or diagrams of strip plaiting/sewing process during entry to support classification
• Watch for blending issues; if natural fibers exceed 50%, reclassify to vegetable fiber subheadings
