Import Tips
• Include bleaching process documentation and fiber blend ratios in commercial invoice to comply with statistical note requirements
• Test for napping (617) specification; customs may inspect for brushed surface confirming HTS 5514.12.0040
• Watch for over-declaration of weight—ensure accurate g/m² to avoid penalties or shifts to lighter fabric codes
