Import Tips
• Verify fabric weight exceeds 200 g/m² via lab testing and provide mill test certificates to confirm >85% cotton content
• Include commercial invoice detailing unbleached state and weave type; avoid misclassification as lighter fabrics under 5208
• Check for quantitative restrictions on raw cotton if fabric incorporates unprocessed fibers; declare accurately to prevent delays
