Import Tips
• Include weave analysis confirming sateen (4+ ends per pick) vs. twill to prevent misclassification
• Document discharge printing technique with chemical specs; customs may test for non-discharge methods
• Label fiber content accurately; blends under 85% cotton shift to Chapter 52 other headings
