Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify fabric weight exceeds 200 g/m² via lab testing and provide mill test certificates to confirm cotton content >85%
• Ensure documentation proves napped finish and twill weave; common pitfall is misclassification as non-napped under 5209.32.0020
• Check for certified hand-loomed status if applicable, as it may shift to 5209.42 for quota exemptions
