Import Tips
• Verify fiber content is predominantly man-made (e.g
• nylon/polyester) via lab tests to confirm 621 classification and avoid reclassification
• Include detailed ink composition and preparation method in commercial invoice to prove 'prepared for giving impressions' status
• Watch for spool/cartridge packaging; declare as 'other' if not specifically spooled to prevent duty miscalculation
