Import Tips
• Verify exact fiber content via lab testing to confirm <85% cotton and man-made mix for proper classification
• Obtain bleaching process documentation to distinguish from unbleached (5210.21) or dyed (5210.31) variants
• Measure fabric weight post-sizing removal using HTS formulas to ensure under 200 g/m² threshold
