Import Tips & Compliance

Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm <85% cotton mixed with man-made fibers; discrepancies lead to reclassification

Provide weight certificates showing >200 g/m² and documentation of multi-colored yarns to avoid audits

Declare as 'other fabrics' explicitly; common pitfall is misclassifying as lighter Chapter 52 fabrics
