Import Tips
• Document twill weave type explicitly, confirming not 3-/4-thread to prevent shift to excluded denim categories
• Test fabric weight after removing sizing via boiling method per US note (b) to ensure <200 g/m² classification
• Label printing as piece-dyed/post-woven to differentiate from yarn-dyed alternatives in 5211 series
