Import Tips
• Conduct fiber content lab tests if blended near 85% threshold to prevent disputes over cotton purity
• Declare exact weight per m² and weave type; pitfall is exceeding 100 g/m² due to moisture, triggering 5208.19
• Use commercial invoices detailing 'sheeting (313)' for statistical reporting accuracy
