Import Tips

• Verify satin weave structure via lab testing or manufacturer certification to distinguish from twill, as misclassification to 5208.59.40 incurs different duties

• Provide accurate weight declaration (post-scouring) and printing process details to avoid reclassification under unprinted headings like 5208.49

• Include country-of-origin certificate confirming >85% cotton content, as blends may shift to Chapter 52 subheadings for mixed fibers
