Import Tips
• Verify fabric weight via lab testing post-sizing removal to confirm under 200 g/m² as per Chapter 52 notes
• Provide mill test certificates for cotton content ≥85% and weave type to avoid reclassification
• Ensure print is considered a finishing process; declare if reactive or pigment printed for CBP scrutiny
