Import Tips
• Submit weight certificates showing >200 g/m²; lighter fabrics risk reclassification to 5208 subheadings
• Label as 'bleached' with processing records; incomplete docs lead to default unbleached classification
• Check for quantitative restrictions on cotton if from restricted countries per U.S. notes
