Import Tips

Verify fabric weight ≤200 g/m² and average yarn number ~315 via lab testing to confirm HTS 5212.12.60.40 classification; retain test reports for CBP review

Provide bleaching process documentation and ensure no prohibited dyes to avoid delays; bleached status requires proof of pre-import treatment
