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
