Import Tips
• Conduct fiber content analysis via ASTM standards; retain certificates showing MMF predominance
• Measure fabric weight post-sizing removal as per US note (b); pitfalls include overweight classification to 5211
• Declare weave as 'other' if not 4-thread twill/denim; specify plain weave to avoid 5210.42 scrutiny
