Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab testing to confirm <85% synthetics; discrepancies lead to reclassification
• Provide weave analysis and yarn color documentation to justify 'yarns of different colors' provision
• Avoid common pitfall of mislabeling as 100% cotton, triggering audits under Chapter 52
