Import Tips

Verify fabric weight under 100 g/m² and yarn number ≥69 via lab testing to confirm classification

Provide mill test certificate for cotton content ≥85% and printing process documentation

Avoid misclassification as unprinted (5208.41) by including dye/print invoices; check for quota restrictions
