Import Tips
• Include stretch component breakdown in invoices; spandex counts as man-made fiber for <85% cotton eligibility
• Certify twill weave and yarn color specs against subheading note to prevent reclassification as non-denim
• Measure areal weight accurately after desizing to stay within 200-360 g/m² range
