Import Tips
• Verify exact fiber content via lab testing to confirm <85% cotton and man-made fiber mix for proper classification
• Provide weave structure documentation proving 3- or 4-thread twill to avoid reclassification to plain weave subheadings
• Include weight certificates showing ≤200 g/m²; exceeding this shifts to higher-weight categories
