Import Tips

Verify fabric weight does not exceed 200 g/m² with lab testing to confirm classification under this subheading

Provide detailed printing process documentation and yarn count details to avoid misclassification as plain weave

Ensure fiber content is 100% cotton or blended appropriately; blends over 85% cotton may shift to Chapter 55
