Import Tips & Compliance

• Use certified lab analysis for cotton percentage; blends <85% shift to Chapter 52 other headings

• Confirm 'number 42 or lower' via metric formula ignoring fractions as per US note (a)

• Declare as unbleached only if no chemical processing; Customs often tests for hidden bleaching
