Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify exact cotton content via lab testing to confirm <85% and avoid reclassification to pure cotton headings like 5209
• Provide weave structure documentation proving it's duck (heavy plain weave variant or twill) excluding plain weave, and weight certification >200 g/m²
• Watch for bleaching processes; even minimal treatments shift to 5211.21, increasing duties or quota issues
