Import Tips
• Verify yarn content exceeds 85% cotton via lab tests; declare average yarn number per US note formulas to avoid reclassification
• Provide width measurements in cm and weight in g/m² on commercial invoice; ensure Jacquard weave certification
• Watch for quantitative restrictions on cotton inputs; common pitfall is misdeclaring as plain weave instead of Jacquard
