Import Tips
• Provide certification document at entry; failure to do so may result in classification as non-certified under 5208.51.40 with different duties
• Measure fabric weight post-sizing removal as per U.S. note formulas to confirm ≤100 g/m² and avoid overweight reclassification
• Ensure plain weave is uniform (excluding selvage) per U.S. notes to prevent disputes over weave type
