Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm <85% polyester staple fibers mixed with cotton for accurate classification
• Provide weave structure documentation (twill certification) to customs to avoid misclassification as plain weave
• Ensure weight certificates showing ≤170 g/m²; common pitfall is reclassification to heavier fabric subheadings
