Import Tips
• Verify fabric weight exceeds 200 g/m² and cotton content ≥85% via lab testing to confirm classification
• Provide weave structure documentation (twill/satin) and printing method to avoid misclassification as unprinted under 5209.51
• Watch for quantitative restrictions on cotton imports; ensure origin certificates for non-WTO countries
