Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab test to confirm <85% cotton; provide mill certificates for CBP review
• Declare exact weight per m² and yarn color differentiation to avoid reclassification to plain weave subheadings
• Ensure jacquard weave documentation, as patterns must be integral to the loom process, not printed
