Import Tips & Compliance

Verify yarn count, construction, and weight via lab testing to confirm printcloth specs per statistical note (e); misclassification risks penalties

Provide mill test certificates documenting <85% synthetic filament content and cotton mix for CBP review

Avoid common pitfall of declaring as 100% cotton—exact fiber content labeling prevents reclassification to Chapter 52
