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
