Import Tips
• Verify exact cotton content via lab test (must be <85% cotton, mainly with MMF) to confirm classification
• Provide mill test certificate for weight (>200 g/m²), weave (plain), and dye uniformity to avoid reclassification
• Watch for napping claims; ensure fabric is smooth to qualify under 'not napped'
