Import Tips
• Verify fabric weight via lab testing to confirm under 200 g/m² and cotton content ≥85% for accurate classification
• Provide mill test certificates documenting yarn colors and weave type to avoid reclassification during customs exam
• Watch for common pitfalls like excessive sizing; boil-wash samples per US notes for precise yarn number calculation
