Import Tips
• Verify exact fiber content via lab test; must declare <85% cotton mixed mainly with MMF to avoid reclassification to 5208
• Provide weave analysis confirming 'other' (non-specialty weaves like plain or twill) and calculate average yarn number per US Note (a)
• Include dyeing certification to distinguish from unbleached/printed under 5210.21/5210.49; watch for weight declarations over 200 g/m²
