Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab testing to confirm <85% cotton and exact man-made blend for accurate classification
• Provide weight documentation (g/m²) from manufacturer; ensure >200 g/m² to avoid lighter fabric subheadings
• Avoid common pitfall of misclassifying as 100% cotton (5209) by including detailed composition certificates
