Import Tips
• Verify exact fiber content via lab test; must be <85% cotton with man-made fibers predominant to qualify
• Provide weave certification (plain weave only, no combinations) and weight documentation in g/m²
• Avoid misclassification as lighter fabrics under 5209; common pitfall is incorrect dyeing process documentation
