Import Tips

• Verify exact fiber content via lab tests to confirm <85% cotton and man-made fiber mix, as misdeclaration can lead to reclassification

• Provide weave structure documentation proving 3- or 4-thread twill to avoid disputes under subheading notes

• Include weight certificates showing >200 g/m² and printing process details to prevent undervaluation penalties
