Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm <85% polyester staple mixed mainly with cotton, as misdeclaration shifts to other subheadings
• Provide mill certificates showing weight ≤170 g/m², yarn numbers 43-68, and >33 singles yarns/cm² to match printcloth definition
• Avoid pitfalls by ensuring no multiple/cabled yarns; declare as unbleached/bleached accurately to prevent reclassification
