Import Tips & Compliance

Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm <85% polyester mixed with cotton, as misdeclaration can lead to reclassification

Provide weave structure certification (3/4-thread twill) and weight documentation to avoid delays at customs

Ensure printing is post-weave to qualify under 'printed' subheading; pre-printed rolls may face different scrutiny
