Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab test to confirm <85% cotton; discrepancies can lead to reclassification
• Provide weave structure documentation (satin, not twill) and weight certificates to avoid audits
• Declare yarn color differences accurately; uniform color shifts to other subheadings
