Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify exact cotton content via lab test; must be under 85% with man-made fibers predominant to qualify
• Provide weave analysis confirming poplin/broadcloth and yarn number ≥69; retain mill certificates
• Check weight ≤200 g/m² post-scouring; common pitfall is misdeclared dyed fabrics entering bleached category
