Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm <85% polyester and cotton mix, as misdeclaration shifts to 5513 or 5210
• Provide mill certificates showing weight >170 g/m² and weave type to avoid reclassification as lighter fabrics
• Ensure unbleached/bleached status matches declaration; dyed versions fall under 5514.19.30
