Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab testing to confirm <85% cotton mixed with man-made fibers; discrepancies can lead to reclassification
• Provide weave structure documentation and weight certificates, as >200 g/m² is critical for this subheading
• Avoid common pitfalls like misdeclaring nap as 'printed'—specify brushing process to prevent shifts to plain twill codes
