Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm <85% polyester and mainly mixed with cotton, as misdeclaration can lead to reclassification
• Provide weave analysis and weight certificates; ensure 'sheeting' specs match statistical note (b) to avoid audits
• Label printed designs accurately; bulk shipments need commercial invoices detailing g/m² and yarn counts
