Import Tips
• Document exact composition to prove 'other vegetable fibers' like jute; labs tests often required for blends under cotton restraints
• Confirm no multiple/cabled yarns per note (d); pitfall is reclassification if weight exceeds 200 g/m²
• Include square construction proof (warp/fill count differential <11/cm); use for apparel to avoid quota issues
