Import Tips

• Provide dyeing process documentation to prove uniform coloration, as uneven dyeing could lead to classification as unbleached under 5209.21

• Confirm 'duck (219)' specs with thread count and tensile strength tests to match statistical reporting requirements

• Avoid pitfalls by labeling rolls with exact weight per square meter and HTS code for easy customs verification
