Import Tips

• Measure fabric weight post-scouring to confirm ≤200 g/m², as excessive sizing can skew results

• Label with exact cotton percentage and bleaching certification to prevent disputes over subheading 5208.29

• Avoid common pitfall of misdeclaring weave; plain weave stays here, but satin may go to 5208.29.60
