Import Tips & Compliance

• Document weave as plain or non-specific to stay in 'other'; twill weaves may require different subheading

• Measure fabric weight post-sizing removal per US note (b) for accurate g/m² compliance

• Avoid quantitative restrictions by confirming origin isn't subject to cotton fiber quotas
