Import Tips

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
