Import Tips & Compliance

Include grammage certificates (>170 g/m² typical for denim) to differentiate from lighter printcloth or cheesecloth in notes

Label as 'blue denim' explicitly in invoices to match statistical suffix (225); mismatches lead to reclassification

Check for napping or finishes that might qualify as 'napped' under sheeting exclusions in statistical note (b)
