Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm <85% cotton; discrepancies can lead to reclassification
• Provide weave analysis and yarn number calculations per Chapter 52 US notes for CBP review
• Ensure printing is considered a finishing process, not changing the base weave classification
