Import Tips
• Include detailed fiber composition label and test reports; U.S
• Customs scrutinizes man-made vs cotton ratios
• Confirm 'number 69 or higher' via formula in Chapter 52 notes; use BT/Z method for accuracy
• Avoid classifying as certified hand-loomed unless government-certified, as power-loom versions dominate this code
