Import Tips
• Provide mill test reports confirming weight >360 g/m² and fiber mix <85% cotton to avoid reclassification
• Label origin of cotton staple per US notes to check quota eligibility if raw cotton history impacts
• Ensure invoice specifies 'warp-faced twill' to match denim definition; broken twill is included
