Import Tips

• Verify fabric weight does not exceed 200 g/m² through lab testing, as exceeding this shifts classification to higher weight subheadings

• Provide bleaching process documentation and thread count certification to confirm 'sheeting (313)' status and avoid reclassification

• Label fiber content accurately as 100% cotton to meet Chapter 52 requirements and prevent penalties for misdeclaration
