Import Tips
• Document weave type with technical specs or photos; sateen must show floating warp yarns per tariff definition
• Ensure dyeing is even and not printed to stay in 'dyed' subheading; printing shifts to 5212.25
• Comply with FTC labeling for fiber content; test for shrinkage to prevent post-entry adjustments
