Import Tips
• Ensure the fabric's weave is documented as not being a plain weave or standard twill, as those would be classified elsewhere
• Keep records of the cotton content and weight to demonstrate compliance with the 85% and 200 g/m² thresholds
• If the fabric is impregnated or coated, verify whether Section XI Note 1(h) or (ij) excludes it from this chapter
