Import Tips

• Verify fiber content via lab testing to confirm <85% cotton and man-made fiber mix, as required for Chapter 52 mixed fabrics

• Provide weave structure documentation proving Oxford basketweave and yarn number ≥69 to avoid reclassification to lower subheadings

• Include weight certificates showing ≤200 g/m² and dyeing process records to prevent disputes over 'dyed' status
