Import Tips
• Retain mill test certificates for fiber blend and yarn metrics; CBP often audits mixed cotton-man-made imports
• Avoid common pitfall of incorrect weave declaration—poplin must be confirmed as plain weave variant per US notes
• For certified hand-loomed versions, obtain government certification to potentially qualify under 5209/5210 handloom provisions
