Import Tips
• Use boiling to remove excessive sizing before weight/yarn testing for accurate classification
• Declare as 'other' poplin/broadcloth; avoid generic 'cotton fabric' descriptions to prevent CBP scrutiny
• Check for quantitative restrictions if raw cotton content traces back to limited staple lengths
