Import Tips
• Verify fabric weight exceeds 200 g/m² via lab testing and provide mill test certificates to confirm compliance with HTS criteria
• Ensure documentation proves cotton content ≥85% by weight; common pitfall is mislabeling blended fabrics leading to reclassification
• Declare as unbleached—any processing like bleaching shifts to 5209.29 subheadings; retain production records
