Import Tips
• Submit fiber content lab analysis confirming ≥85% cotton; batiste often near threshold
• Document bleaching method (e.g
• peroxide) to distinguish from unbleached; customs may test whiteness index
• Greige weight records prevent disputes if finishing adds minimal weight over 200 g/m² limit
