• Ensure the fabric's cotton content is at least 85% by weight and that the weight exceeds 200 g/m², as these are key criteria for classification under 5209.43.00

• Declare the yarn colours accurately, since 'of yarns of different colours' is a defining characteristic

• Keep commercial documents, such as invoices and mill certificates, ready to support the declared composition and weight
