Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm less than 85% polyester and mainly mixed with cotton for accurate classification
• Provide weave analysis and weight certification (under 170 g/m²) to avoid misclassification as heavier fabrics
• Ensure printing is on one or both sides; declare as 'printed' to match this subheading
