Import Tips
• Verify fabric weight via lab testing post-sizing removal to confirm under 360 g/m² as per US note formulas
• Provide detailed weave analysis and color specs to prove denim definition (warp-faced twill with contrasting weft)
• Include commercial invoice specifying exact cotton percentage (<85%) to avoid reclassification to pure cotton headings
