Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab test; must be mainly cotton (>50%) with wool to qualify under 5212, not 5112
• Provide weight certification showing >200 g/m²; common pitfall is mismeasurement including sizing
• Include dyeing process documentation; ensure no prohibited origins per US cotton quota notes
