Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify fabric weight and cotton content via lab testing to confirm <200 g/m² and ≥85% cotton for this subheading

• Obtain certification if claiming hand-loomed status under US notes for potential duty relief

• Avoid misclassification as bleached by ensuring no chemical treatments; declare as unbleached accurately
