Import Tips
• Verify fabric weight does not exceed 200 g/m² via lab testing to confirm subheading; provide grammage certificates
• Include bleaching process documentation and yarn count details per Chapter 52 notes for Customs review
• Avoid misclassification as unbleached (5211) by ensuring bleaching is fully processed before export
