Import Tips

• Verify fabric weight exceeds 200 g/m² with lab testing and provide bleaching certification to confirm classification

• Include mill test reports showing >85% cotton content and napped finish to avoid reclassification as un-napped twill

• Watch for quota restrictions on cotton fabrics; declare origin accurately to comply with US note limitations
