Import Tips
• Verify exact fiber content via lab testing to confirm <85% cotton mixed with man-made fibers; discrepancies can lead to reclassification
• Provide weave diagrams and yarn color specifications in entry documentation to distinguish from denim under 5209.42
• Ensure weight is documented post-sizing removal per US note formulas to avoid under/over declaration
