Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm <85% synthetic staple fibers mixed mainly with cotton
• Include detailed weave specifications and weight certification in documentation to avoid misclassification
• Ensure printing is post-weave to qualify under printed subheading; pre-printed rolls may shift to other categories
