Import Tips

• Provide weave structure certificates confirming 3/4-thread twill to prevent misclassification as plain weave

• Label with exact fiber percentages and gsm; common pitfall is under-declaring man-made content

• Check for 'denim' definition if marketed as such—must match specific color/weave criteria
