Import Tips
• Verify fabric weight exceeds 200 g/m² with lab testing to confirm classification and avoid reclassification to lighter subheadings
• Provide detailed weave analysis (twill confirmation) and printing process documentation to prevent disputes over 'printed' status
• Ensure supplier certificates for yarn number average per US note (b) to support 'other' woven fabric claims
