Import Tips
• Conduct fiber content analysis via AATCC methods to substantiate 85%+ cotton claim during customs review
• Include mill test certificates specifying yarn number calculation method to defend against audits
• Avoid common pitfall of misdeclaring weight; use Z' (grams/m²) formula for precision
