Import Tips

• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm 100% man-made fibers and avoid reclassification to cotton or wool headings

• Ensure labeling complies with textile fiber identification rules under 19 CFR Part 134 for country of origin

• Check for any braid elements, as even minor braid could shift to 6505.00.60.40 subheading
