Import Tips

• Verify fiber content via lab test to confirm <85% cotton as blends shift classification; provide detailed composition certificates

• Ensure weave is plain and yarn number ≥69 using US note formulas; include mill test reports to avoid reclassification

• Check weight ≤200 g/m² post-scouring; common pitfall is misdeclared weight leading to audits
