Import Tips
• Label fiber composition clearly on commercial invoice to meet FTC and customs fiber content rules
• Ensure documentation specifies 'sateen weave' excluding selvage, per US notes on Chapter 52 weaves
• Watch for twill misclassification; sateen differs from 3- or 4-thread twill in subheading notes
