Import Tips
• Verify fabric weight via lab testing (must exceed 200 g/m² post-scouring) and confirm sateen weave structure to avoid reclassification
• Provide mill test certificates for yarn count, dye process, and composition to ensure 100% cotton and compliance with Chapter 52 notes
• Beware of undervaluation pitfalls; use transaction value based on commercial invoices matching production costs
