Import Tips

Include commercial invoices specifying exact fiber percentages and g/m² weight to match 5513 criteria

Avoid common pitfall of classifying as 100% cotton if poly content >15%; require certified test reports

Declare intended end-use as fabric, not made-up articles, to prevent shift to Chapter 63
