Import Tips
• Verify fabric weight does not exceed 200 g/m² via lab testing, as exceeding moves it to higher weight subheadings
• Provide mill test certificate confirming unbleached status and oxford weave to avoid reclassification
• Watch for quantitative restrictions on cotton imports; ensure origin complies with US note limitations
