Import Tips

• Provide lab test reports verifying cotton content below 85% and exact weight over 200 g/m² to avoid reclassification

• Include commercial invoices detailing print process and man-made fiber composition to meet Chapter 52 documentation standards

• Watch for common pitfalls like misdeclared weight due to sizing; boil-test fabric as per US notes for accurate yarn number
