Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab testing to confirm <85% cotton mixed mainly with man-made fibers; provide mill certificates
• Ensure accurate weave documentation proving duck (non-plain twill) construction to avoid reclassification to plain weave subheadings
• Declare weight per m² precisely and include dyeing/printing process details to prevent undervaluation penalties
