Import Tips
• Verify fabric weight exceeds 200 g/m² via lab testing; provide mill test certificates to avoid reclassification
• Ensure bleaching process documentation; common pitfall is mislabeling as unbleached under 5212.12
• Declare exact construction (e.g
• plain weave) as 'other' excludes twills like denim
