Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm cotton is chief weight (>50%) with wool/hair mix, as per Chapter 52 notes
• Provide mill certificates documenting unbleached state and weight >200 g/m² to avoid reclassification
• Watch for quantitative restrictions on cotton if from non-WTO countries; ensure proper origin documentation
