Import Tips
• Conduct fiber content analysis per U.S
• Note (a) to confirm ≥85% cotton, retaining records for CBP audits
• Measure fabric weight post-sizing removal and document jacquard weave type to prevent shifts to plain weave codes
• Avoid common pitfall of undervaluing based on greige state; declare full specifications to evade penalties
