Import Tips
• Verify fabric weight exceeds 200 g/m² using Z' grams per square meter formula from US notes to avoid reclassification
• Provide lab test reports for print permanence and cotton content (>85%) to prevent undervaluation disputes
• Check for quantitative restrictions on raw cotton inputs; include country-of-origin certification for non-WTO sources
