Import Tips
• Verify exact fiber content via lab testing to confirm <85% cotton and man-made mix; discrepancies lead to reclassification
• Provide weave analysis and weight certification (gsm) in documentation to prove plain weave and >200 g/m² criteria
• Include napping process details and yarn color variation proof to avoid audits on 'napped' and 'different colors' specs
