Import Tips

Verify exact fiber composition via lab testing to confirm <85% cotton and MMF mix, as misdeclaration can lead to reclassification

Provide weave structure documentation proving 3- or 4-thread twill (not denim per subheading note) and measure weight post-sizing removal

Include commercial invoices specifying yarn colors and g/m² to avoid customs holds on 'other fabrics of twill' scrutiny
