Import Tips
• Confirm 'broadcloth' via weave analysis; must be wholly plain weave excluding selvage per US note (b)
• Include commercial invoice detailing g/m² weight and printing process to prevent duty disputes
• Watch for over-declaration of weight; exceeding 200 g/m² shifts to higher weight subheadings
