Import Tips

• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm <85% cotton mixed with man-made fibers; mislabeling leads to reclassification

• Provide weave certification and weight documentation (gsm) at entry to avoid customs holds

• Check for quantitative restrictions on cotton content if from non-WTO countries
