Import Tips
• Provide detailed fiber content breakdown (e.g
• 40% flax, 30% cotton, 30% polyester) via lab tests to confirm classification under cotton restraints
• Check current cotton restraint quotas via WTO agreements; obtain necessary textile visas for restricted entries
• Avoid misclassification as pure cotton by documenting vegetable fiber presence; common pitfall is underreporting man-made content
