Import Tips

Verify exact fiber content via lab testing to confirm <85% cotton and qualify under Chapter 52; misclassification to 100% cotton headings risks penalties

Provide weave diagrams and yarn count calculations per U.S. notes (e.g

N = BYT/1,000) in documentation to prove number 69+ status

Avoid common pitfalls like incorrect weight declaration (must be ≤200 g/m² post-sizing removal) by submitting grammage certificates
