Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab test to confirm <85% cotton; discrepancies lead to reclassification
• Provide weave structure documentation (e.g
• twill analysis) to avoid misfiling under plain weave subheadings
• Ensure bleaching process certification to distinguish from unbleached fabrics under 5210.21
