Import Tips

• Verify fiber content via lab testing to confirm <85% polyester and mainly cotton mix, as misdeclaration can lead to reclassification

• Provide mill test certificates and weight documentation (gsm) to prove >170 g/m² and poplin/broadcloth specs per statistical notes

• Avoid common pitfalls like incorrect weave declaration; ensure plain weave and non-square construction match Chapter 55 definitions
