Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide lab test reports confirming <85% cotton content mixed mainly with man-made fibers and weight >200 g/m² to avoid reclassification
• Include documentation proving plain weave construction and napped finish, as per subheading specifications, to prevent delays
• Verify bleaching process meets US standards; common pitfall is mislabeling weight after excessive sizing removal as per US note
