Import Tips

• Verify fiber composition via lab tests to confirm <85% cotton mixed with man-made fibers; retain certificates for CBP review

• Measure fabric weight post-sizing removal per US note formulas to ensure >200 g/m² classification

• Avoid misdeclaration as 100% cotton (5209) by providing detailed blend invoices; common pitfall is underreporting man-made content
