Import Tips
• Verify fabric weight via lab testing to confirm under 200 g/m² and cotton content ≥85% for proper classification
• Provide weave structure documentation (e.g
• sateen analysis) to distinguish from plain weave or denim twills
• Ensure colorfastness tests for prints to avoid reclassification as dyed rather than printed
