Import Tips
• Verify exact fiber content via lab tests to confirm <85% cotton; discrepancies can lead to reclassification
• Provide bleaching certification and weave structure documentation to avoid disputes on 'satin weave' definition
• Watch weight per m² during customs inspection—over 200 g/m² shifts to higher headings like 5211
