Import Tips
• Verify fabric weight does not exceed 200 g/m² with lab testing; provide test reports to CBP if challenged
• Include detailed yarn composition and color documentation to confirm 'yarns of different colors' classification
• Avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling as denim (5209.42), which requires specific twill weave and color rules
