Import Tips
• Document weave as 3/4-thread twill via photos/microscopy; misidentification as satin can lead to wrong heading
• Check for quantitative restrictions if raw cotton source relates, though processed fabrics usually exempt
• Avoid bulk packaging without individual roll labels; CBP requires clear HTS markings on each package
