Import Tips
• Verify exact fiber content via lab testing to confirm <85% cotton and man-made fiber dominance for proper Chapter 52 classification
• Provide bleaching certification and weight documentation (g/m²) to avoid misclassification as lighter unbleached fabrics
• Watch for quantitative restrictions on cotton blends; ensure origin documentation complies with U.S. notes for non-WTO countries
