Import Tips
• Verify exact fiber content via lab testing to confirm <85% cotton and man-made fiber mix for proper classification
• Provide weave structure documentation (twill confirmation) and weight certificates to avoid misclassification as plain weave
• Ensure printing is on fabric, not garment, to prevent shift to Chapter 62 apparel duties
