Import Tips

• Verify exact fiber composition via lab testing to confirm <85% cotton and provide detailed invoices specifying weight per m²

• Include bleaching process certification to avoid reclassification as unbleached under 5211.11

• Check for quantitative restrictions on cotton content if sourced from non-WTO countries
