Import Tips
• Verify fabric weight exceeds 200 g/m² via lab testing to confirm classification; provide mill test certificates
• Ensure bleaching process documentation to avoid misclassification as unbleached under 5212.21
• Declare average yarn number accurately using HTS formulas to prevent audits on 'other' sateens
