Import Tips
• Verify exact fiber content via lab testing to confirm <85% cotton and man-made fiber mix for accurate classification
• Provide weave analysis and weight certificates (g/m²) in documentation to avoid misclassification as lighter fabrics
• Ensure printing is considered a finishing process; declare as 'printed' to match subheading requirements
