Import Tips
• Verify exact fiber content via lab test; must be <85% cotton mixed mainly with MMF to qualify
• Provide weave certification (twill/satin) and weight documentation (≤200 g/m²) to avoid reclassification
• Watch for quantitative restrictions on cotton content; declare dyed plain weave as 5210.31 for different rates
