Import Tips & Compliance

Verify exact fiber content via lab testing to confirm <85% cotton and man-made mix, as required for Chapter 52 classification

Provide weave certification proving 3- or 4-thread twill (not denim per subheading note) and weight >200 g/m² to avoid reclassification

Ensure no napping or finishing; common pitfall is misdeclaring bleached fabric, leading to audits
