Import Tips & Compliance

Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm <85% cotton with man-made fibers; discrepancies lead to reclassification

Provide weave structure documentation proving plain weave poplin/broadcloth with number 42 or lower to avoid audits

Declare weight accurately post-sizing removal; exceeding 200 g/m² shifts to higher-number subheadings
