Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab testing to confirm <85% cotton as required for Chapter 52; discrepancies lead to reclassification
• Provide weave analysis and weight certification (gsm post-sizing removal per US note) to avoid customs disputes
• Ensure printing is surface-applied, not dyed, and include mill certificates for man-made fiber blend
