Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab testing to confirm <85% cotton; provide detailed composition certificates to CBP
• Ensure weave is documented as 3- or 4-thread twill (not plain); weight must exceed 200 g/m² post-sizing removal
• Check for denim definition compliance if claiming lighter duties; bleached state requires colorfastness proof
