Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab testing to confirm <85% cotton mixed with MMF, as exceeding 85% shifts to Chapter 52 pure cotton headings
• Provide weave structure documentation (e.g
• twill pattern) to distinguish from plain weave duck under 5211.39.0030
• Ensure weight certification >200 g/m² post-scouring to avoid reclassification to lighter fabrics
