Import Tips
• Verify fabric weight exceeds 200 g/m² and cotton content ≥85% via lab testing to confirm classification under 5209.31.60.25
• Provide dyeing process documentation and ensure no napping to avoid reclassification; include mill test certificates
• Be aware of quantitative restrictions on certain cotton imports; check U.S. notes for origin-specific limits
