Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify fabric weight exceeds 200 g/m² and cotton content ≥85% via lab testing; include mill test certificates in documentation
• Ensure 'napped' finish is documented with photos or samples, as CBP may inspect for compliance with subheading specifications
• Avoid common pitfalls like misdeclaring weave—plain weave only; dyed versions shift to other subheadings
