Import Tips
• Verify fabric weight exceeds 200 g/m² via lab testing and provide mill test certificates to confirm cotton content over 85%
• Document napping process and yarn color differentiation to avoid misclassification as plain twill under 5209.42
• Check for quantitative restrictions on cotton imports and ensure proper labeling of weave type and finish
