Import Tips
• Declare glaze/finish type; if substantial, may affect weight calc or require Chapter 59 classification
• Provide fabric swatches for CBP to confirm weave is not twill (which could go to 5211)
• Track quantitative restrictions if cotton content from quota countries, though processed fabrics often exempt
