Import Tips & Compliance

Verify fiber content via lab testing to confirm less than 85% synthetic staple fibers mixed mainly with cotton, as misdeclaration can lead to reclassification

Provide mill test certificates showing weight over 170 g/m² and plain weave duck construction to avoid disputes at customs

Ensure invoice details match HTS description for unbleached/bleached state; common pitfall is importing dyed versions under wrong subheading
