Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab testing to confirm <85% cotton and man-made mix; declare exact percentages on entry documents
• Provide weave certification (3- or 4-thread twill) and weight proof (gsm >200) to avoid reclassification to lighter fabrics
• Check for quantitative restrictions on cotton imports and ensure no napping treatment, as napped falls under separate subheading
