Import Tips & Compliance

Verify fiber content via lab testing to confirm <85% polyester and mainly cotton mix, as required for heading 5513

Provide weave structure documentation proving oxford basketweave to avoid reclassification as plain weave

Ensure weight certification below 170 g/m²; common pitfall is mislabeling heavier fabrics
