Import Tips
• Test for stretch content; elastane counts as man-made fiber ensuring <85% cotton classification
• Provide weave count (220+) documentation; pitfalls include undervaluing due to fashion fabric status
• Comply with FTC labeling for blends; separate invoices for dyed vs. printed to avoid weave disputes
