Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm <85% polyester with cotton mix, as exceeding polyester threshold shifts to 5514.11
• Provide weave structure documentation proving 3-thread twill to avoid misclassification as plain weave under 5514.21
• Ensure weight certification >170 g/m²; lighter fabrics fall under 5514.42
