Import Tips
• Verify fabric weight exceeds 200 g/m² via lab testing and provide mill test certificates to confirm cotton content over 85%
• Ensure bleaching is documented; unbleached versions classify under 5209.21.00, avoiding common misclassification
• Declare average yarn number accurately using HTS formulas to prevent reclassification during CBP review
