Import Tips

Verify fiber content via lab testing to confirm <85% polyester and mainly cotton mix, as misdeclaration can lead to reclassification

Provide weave structure documentation (e.g

twill analysis) and weight certificates to avoid disputes over 170 g/m² threshold

Label color variations clearly; ensure no napping that might confuse with other twill subheadings
