Import Tips
• Verify fabric weight exceeds 200 g/m² via lab testing to confirm classification and avoid reclassification to lighter subheadings
• Provide detailed invoices specifying print method, weave type (plain), and cotton content ≥85% to prevent duty disputes
• Check for quantitative restrictions on cotton imports; source from WTO members to bypass limitations
