Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab testing to confirm <85% cotton and man-made mix for accurate classification
• Provide weave certification (twill, not 3/4-thread) and weight documentation to avoid misclassification as denim
• Ensure printed patterns meet 'printed' criteria; solid dyes may shift to unprinted subheadings
