Import Tips
• Verify exact fiber composition via lab testing to confirm <85% cotton and man-made fiber mix for proper classification
• Provide weave structure documentation proving sateen construction (not 3- or 4-thread twill) to avoid misclassification
• Check for quantitative restrictions on cotton content and ensure unbleached state with no finishing processes applied
