Import Tips & Compliance

Document weave type (broadcloth's fine, firm plain weave) and measure yarn number per US note formulas to stay in 5208.52.30.20

Avoid common pitfall of weight mismeasurement; test post-scouring as per notes for accurate g/m²

Certify cotton content via invoices and tests; blends risk shifting to Chapter 52 heading 5211
