Import Tips
• Confirm not 'denim' per 5209.42 note (yarn colors don't match); document weave and fiber analysis
• Include commercial invoice detailing g/m² weight post-sizing removal as per US note on yarn number
• Label as blended fabric; mislabeling as pure cotton risks penalties under fiber content rules
