Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm <85% cotton mixed mainly with man-made fibers; discrepancies lead to reclassification
• Obtain accurate weight certification (gsm >200) and weave documentation to avoid audits
• Ensure printing is considered 'printed' per HTS definitions; plain dyed may shift to 5211.51
