Import Tips
• Verify that the herringbone weave does not qualify as a standard 3-thread or 4-thread twill, which would fall under a different tariff item
• Maintain records of the fabric's cotton content and weight to support the classification
• If the fabric is treated with any coating or lamination, check whether Section XI Note 1(h) or (ij) applies, as that could exclude it from this chapter
