Import Tips
• Verify fabric weight post-sizing removal via boiling test as per US Note (a) to confirm under 200 g/m²
• Obtain lab test reports proving ≥85% cotton content and yarn number ≤42 to avoid reclassification
• Watch quota limits on raw cotton inputs; ensure origin docs for non-WTO countries
