Import Tips
• Verify fabric weight exceeds 200 g/m² with lab testing to confirm classification in this heavy-weight subheading
• Provide dyeing and printing process documentation, specifying discharge method to avoid reclassification as standard printed
• Ensure fiber content labels show ≥85% cotton; blends may shift to 5210 or 5208
