Import Tips
• Verify fabric weight exceeds 200 g/m² via lab testing and include test reports in documentation to confirm classification
• Provide dyeing process details and fiber content certificates showing ≥85% cotton to avoid reclassification to lighter fabrics
• Check for quantitative restrictions on cotton imports from non-WTO countries and ensure proper country-of-origin labeling
