Import Tips
• Document weave as plain (excluding selvage) per U.S. note (b) with photos or samples to avoid twill misclassification
• Label fiber content accurately (>85% cotton) and provide weight certificates to confirm under 200 g/m² threshold
• For apparel end-use, prepare for potential CBP review on whether it's fabric or garment component
