Import Tips

• Obtain lab test reports certifying cotton content below 85% and exact weight under 200 g/m² to avoid reclassification to higher cotton chapters

• Provide weave analysis confirming oxford structure (basketweave variant of twill) and yarn number 42 or lower per US note formulas

• Declare 'yarns of different colors' accurately; uniform dyeing may shift to 5210.41, triggering different duties
