Import Tips
• Verify fabric weight exceeds 200 g/m² via lab testing and provide mill test certificates to confirm >85% cotton content
• Ensure dyeing is uniform and documented; misclassification as printed (5208) is common—submit weave analysis
• Declare average yarn number per US Note (b) formulas to avoid audits on Chapter 52 woven fabrics
