Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify fabric weight via lab testing to confirm under 200 g/m² and cotton content >85% with detailed invoices and mill certificates
• Provide weave structure documentation (e.g
• twill pattern specs) to avoid misclassification as plain weave under 5208.31
• Ensure dyeing process is uniform; uneven dyeing may trigger quality inspections or reclassification
