Import Tips
• Verify cotton content exceeds 85% via lab testing; provide mill certificates to avoid reclassification
• Ensure printing inks meet FDA standards for food contact if intended for culinary use; include safety data sheets
• Declare exact weight per m² and yarn number on entry docs to prevent audits on 'number 42 or lower' criterion
