Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm <85% cotton; provide mill certificates to avoid reclassification
• Ensure weave is documented as satin (not twill) with photos or swatches; common pitfall is misidentifying weave type
• Declare weight accurately post-scouring; check for quantitative restrictions on blended cotton imports
