Import Tips
• Conduct fiber content analysis to prove ≥85% cotton; blends risk reclassification to 521x subheadings
• Document napping method and fabric specs in commercial invoice to prevent disputes at customs
• Avoid common pitfall of misstating weight—use post-scouring grammage for accurate >200 g/m² declaration
