Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm <85% polyester and mainly cotton mix, as misdeclaration shifts to Chapter 55 pure synthetics
• Provide weight certificates showing >170 g/m² and plain weave details to avoid reclassification to lighter fabrics
• Ensure documentation specifies unbleached/bleached state; common pitfall is incomplete bleaching process records
