Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab testing to confirm <85% cotton and exact man-made fiber mix for accurate classification
• Provide weight certificates showing >200 g/m² and documentation proving unbleached state to avoid reclassification
• Check for quantitative restrictions on cotton content and ensure plain weave is predominant (excluding selvage)
