Import Tips
• Avoid common pitfall of classifying narrow widths (≤220 cm) which fall under 5208.19.40, not .80
• Submit fiber content affidavits from accredited labs; blends under 85% cotton redirect to Chapter 52 mixed fabric headings
• Check for quantitative restrictions if raw cotton content suggests relation to 5201 quotas, though processed fabrics usually exempt
