Import Tips
• Verify exact cotton content via lab testing to confirm <85% and avoid reclassification to pure cotton headings
• Provide weave certification proving sateen construction, as per Chapter 52 notes on specified weaves
• Declare weight accurately post-sizing removal; common pitfall is misstating g/m² leading to audits
