Import Tips
• Document spandex as the main man-made fiber mix with lab reports; blends over 15% shift from pure cotton classifications
• Provide photos or samples evidencing napping to distinguish from smooth twill under other 5211 subheadings
• Comply with US notes on fabric weight calculation post-sizing removal to prevent reclassification as lighter fabric
