Import Tips

• Verify fabric weight post-scouring does not exceed 200 g/m² and cotton content ≥85% via lab testing for accurate classification

• Provide dyeing and printing process documentation, including discharge method proof, to avoid reclassification as plain printed

• Check for certified hand-loomed status which may qualify for different subheading under 5208.11; watch quota limits on cotton imports
