Import Tips
• Document weave type (e.g
• twill) and ensure it's not mistaken for 3/4-thread denim under subheading notes
• Include government certification if claiming any hand-loomed status, though not required for this code
• Label fabrics clearly to prevent confusion with combed cotton variants in 5212.21
