Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab testing to confirm <85% polyester mixed mainly with cotton for accurate classification
• Provide weave structure documentation (satin/twill) and weight certificates to avoid misclassification as plain weave
• Ensure printing is considered 'printed' per HTS notes; unprinted shifts to other subheadings
