Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm <85% cotton mixed with man-made fibers; retain certificates for CBP review
• Measure fabric weight post-sizing removal using US note formulas to ensure >200 g/m² classification
• Avoid misclassification as bleached by providing proof of unbleached state; common pitfall is improper weave documentation
