Import Tips
• Conduct fiber content analysis; must certify ≥85% cotton or reclassifies to man-made blends in Chapter 54/55
• Document weave as plain (per US note b); twill elements shift to 5208.41+
• Beware quota risks if raw cotton content traces to restricted staples, though processed fabrics usually exempt
