Import Tips
• Label exact percentages and obtain certificates of origin to prove cotton mix dominance
• Check for square construction exclusion; this code applies only if not strictly poplin-excluded per notes
• Avoid common pitfall of declaring as 100% cotton—disclose polyester for correct Chapter 55 placement
