Import Tips
• Document exact cotton percentage (>85%) with lab reports, as stretch fibers could trigger blend scrutiny
• Measure weight after removing sizing per U.S. note (b) to confirm ≤360 g/m² classification
• Avoid common pitfall of misdeclaring as apparel parts; this is greige fabric, not components
