Import Tips

• Verify fabric weight does not exceed 200 g/m² via lab testing and provide mill test certificate to confirm classification

• Declare exact yarn color composition and average yarn number per US Note (a) to avoid reclassification to higher-duty subheadings

• Ensure no printed motifs; if present, it shifts to 5212.15, a common pitfall causing delays
