Import Tips
• Verify exact fiber content via lab test to confirm <85% cotton; mislabeling leads to reclassification
• Provide weave certification (twill, not plain) and weight documentation (gsm >200) to avoid audits
• Check Chapter 52 cotton quotas if applicable; unbleached status must be proven pre-bleaching
