Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm <85% cotton and man-made dominance, as per Chapter 52 notes on composition
• Provide weave structure documentation (e.g
• photos or specs) to distinguish from denim twills in 5209.42/5211.42
• Avoid misclassification as bleached (5210.29) by ensuring no optical brighteners or finishing processes applied
