Import Tips

• Verify fabric weight exceeds 200 g/m² and cotton content ≥85% via lab testing to confirm HTS 5209.11.00.90 classification

• Provide mill test certificates showing unbleached state and plain weave structure to avoid misclassification as lighter fabrics

• Be aware of quantitative restrictions on raw cotton; ensure proper country-of-origin documentation for non-WTO sources
