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
