Import Tips
• Conduct grammage testing post-desizing to confirm >200 g/m²; retain records as CBP often challenges heavy cotton classifications
• Provide bleaching process details (e.g
• peroxide or optical brighteners) to distinguish from unbleached 5208.22 equivalents
• Avoid common pitfall of roll labeling errors; ensure width/weight specs match entry documents precisely
