Import Tips
• Verify fabric weight exceeds 200 g/m² and cotton content ≥85% via lab testing; retain certificates for CBP review
• Provide mill test reports confirming unbleached state, twill weave (3/4-thread), and napping to avoid reclassification
• Watch for quantitative restrictions on cotton imports; declare country of origin accurately to comply with U.S. notes
