Import Tips
• Conduct fiber content analysis to prove >85% cotton, as blends risk reclassification to 52.1x series
• Use commercial invoice specifying 'plain weave poplin/broadcloth, bleached, 314' for CBP review
• Watch for quantitative restrictions on raw cotton inputs per U.S
• Notes, though processed fabrics exempt
