Import Tips

• Verify exact cotton content via lab testing as it must be under 85% to qualify; provide mill test certificates to avoid reclassification

• Include documentation confirming napped finish and weight >200 g/m², with samples if requested by CBP for weave verification

• Avoid common pitfalls like misdeclaring print as unbleached—printed fabrics require accurate color process disclosure
