Import Tips

• Verify fabric weight via lab testing (≤200 g/m²) and confirm piece-dyeing process to avoid misclassification as yarn-dyed (5208/5209)

• Provide mill certificates for yarn number average and dyeing method; ensure no excessive sizing affects weight measurement per Chapter 52 notes

• Watch for quantitative restrictions on raw cotton inputs; declare country of origin accurately to comply with US note limitations
