Import Tips
• Submit mill test reports confirming >200 g/m² weight after scouring to meet subheading requirements
• Declare exact printing method (screen or digital) in entry docs to confirm it's not hand-printed artisanal fabric
• Avoid common pitfall of undervaluing heavyweight fabrics; use transaction value based on commercial invoices
