Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab testing to confirm <85% cotton and man-made fiber mix; declare exact percentages on entry
• Provide weight certification (g/m²) as >200 g/m² is key; scour sizing if needed for accurate measurement per US notes
• Avoid misclassification as printed (5211.49) by ensuring uniform dyeing, not patterns
