Import Tips
• 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
