Import Tips
• Verify fabric weight exceeds 360 g/m² via lab testing and provide weave structure documentation to confirm denim definition per subheading note
• Include detailed fiber content breakdown (must be <85% cotton, mixed with MMF) and yarn color differentiation on commercial invoice
• Avoid misclassification by ensuring no excessive sizing; measure average yarn number post-boiling as per US note for accurate weight
