Import Tips
• Submit mill test certificate for fiber ratio and yarn count; CBP often audits mixed cotton blends for accurate duty assessment
• Document post-boiling weight and linear density to validate ≤200 g/m² and average yarn number 43-68 per US formulas
• Avoid common pitfall of declaring as 100% cotton; man-made content triggers MMF mixed fabric rules
