Import Tips

Verify fabric weight exceeds 200 g/m² with lab testing to confirm classification and avoid reclassification to lighter fabrics

Provide mill test certificates confirming unbleached state and 100% cotton composition for smooth CBP clearance

Watch for quantitative restrictions on cotton imports; ensure origin complies with US note limitations
