Import Tips
• Document exact grammage via lab testing as weights near 200 g/m² risk reclassification to lighter fabric headings
• Confirm no chemical bleaching occurred; retain processing records to distinguish from 5212.11 bleached fabrics
• Check fabric construction excludes selvage variations that might alter weave classification per US note (b)
