Import Tips
• Document weight per square meter precisely, as exceeding 200 g/m² is critical for this heading
• Provide commercial invoices specifying jacquard weave and yarn color differences to prevent misclassification as plain weave
• Be aware of quota restrictions on raw cotton inputs that may indirectly affect fabric pricing
