Import Tips
• Verify fabric weight does not exceed 200 g/m² via lab testing to confirm classification; provide weave structure documentation
• Include bleaching process certificates and fiber content analysis (85%+ cotton) to avoid reclassification to unbleached subheadings
• Watch for quantitative restrictions on cotton imports; ensure origin complies with US note limitations
