Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm <85% synthetic staple fibers mixed mainly with cotton, as exceeding this shifts to 5514.11 or 5514.21
• Provide weave specs (square construction, >33 ends/picks per cm, yarn number ≤68) in documentation to avoid misclassification as other fabrics
• Ensure weight certification >170 g/m²; common pitfall is under-declaring weight leading to reclassification under lighter fabric subheadings
